Michael and Warren Buffett

We have seen the future of art, and his name is Michael Israel. Equal parts Jackson Pollock, Peter Max, and Michael Flatley, Lord of the Dance…

Michael is chosen for the most prominent events when the outcome matters most, such as painting the President’s portrait at Presidential Dinners, Galas, and Inaugural Balls in DC or Warren Buffett’s portrait at the Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders Meeting!

Major corporations, celebrities, and even US Presidents have flown Michael worldwide to share his artistic inspiration. Despite his success, he remains dedicated to giving back through his charitable work.

When considering an entertainer or speaker for your gala, you can easily decide by asking these 3 critical questions:

1. Will they perform for free?

2. Will they provide items valued at tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars to raise money for us?

3. Will they cover all expenses, including flights, hotel rooms, ground transportation, meals, incidentals, materials, crew, and even the auctioneer?

If they can’t confidently make these promises, it’s a sign that they may not have the ability to deliver what you need, and you could end up with losses shouldering their costs.

Are you looking to secure more sponsorships?

If you’re hoping to attract corporate CEOs and wealthy retirees to your event, it’s unlikely that a local entertainer or unknown artist will do the trick. They have seen and done it all, and every other charity in town is asking them to sponsor their event. You need something unique!

We can customize this video for your corporate sponsor outreach

Michael can help you secure more sponsorships and ensure your sponsors attend in person. And they will want to bring high-level associates, executives, and top clients who can provide you with additional support, which is far more advantageous than having them not excited to attend and only sending lower-level employees to your event to fill seats.

Having Michael at your event is a no-brainer! Check references and have a close look at unretouched event photos, you will quickly see why his artwork sells so well.
