2024 Hall of Fame Benefit

Join us at the NYFA Hall of Fame Benefit, a vibrant celebration of the arts and an acknowledgment of both the remarkable artists we serve and the incredible patrons who support our mission.

Established in 2011 as NYFA’s most significant fundraiser, this benefit offers an enchanting evening featuring a banquet dinner, an awards ceremony recognizing luminaries in visual, literary, and performing arts, a silent auction filled with unique artistic treasures, and an energetic paddle raise to support NYFA’s diverse programs.

It’s an opportunity to come together for a night of joy and celebration, honoring those who have made profound impacts in the arts and those who sustain artistic vision with unwavering integrity.

This celebration is a tribute to the spirit of creativity and dedication that embodies NYFA’s mission.
