SculptureCenter's Annual Gala will celebrate artist Pat Oleszko alongside our visionary friend Jane Hait. Oleszko and Hait are two incredible people who have made lasting marks on art in New York as we know it today. We are grateful for the opportunity to honor them as we welcome hundreds of artists, patrons, friends, and colleagues to Sound River Studios along the Long Island City waterfront for our yearly celebration.
This year, SculptureCenter is also thrilled to recognize Laura Rothrock, President, Long Island City Partnership, as our inaugural Neighbor of the Year. Rothrock’s deep commitment to Long Island City has bridged the many sectors that shape our district, strengthening our shared civic life.
SculptureCenter’s Annual Gala is our biggest fundraising initiative of the year. All proceeds support SculptureCenter's exhibitions, programs, and commitment to contemporary art and artists.
