Art World Luminaries Gathered Uptown for the Bronx Museum Gala

As a leader in both galvanizing its community of ardent supporters and staging exhibitions of our time’s most groundbreaking contemporary art, the Bronx Museum knows a thing or two about standing out. It’s fitting, then, that its gala was one for the ages. Artist Sanford Biggers and jazz musician Samara Joy were among those who received awards from the museum, while Artsy spearheaded an auction overseen by Mattos Paschal of Christies. Following cocktails, dinner, the auction, and dancing, DJ Ethan Tomasspun tunes for a late-night afterparty. Notables in attendance included Thelma Golden, Hank Willis Thomas, Rujeko Hockley, Derrick Adams, Michael Chuapoco, John Ahearn, Gia Kuan, Emma Kohlmann, Baseera Khan, Dred Scott, and more.
