At this year’s Gala and Cultural Leadership Awards, the AFA will honor noteworthy philanthropist Peter Brant and Kimerly Rorschach, the former Illsley Ball Nordstrom Director and CEO of the Seattle Art Museum with introductions by Donna De Salvo and Pauline Willis.

The event brings together artists, museum directors, collectors, philanthropists, and art professionals at an elegant gala to celebrate the American Federation of Arts and honor significant individuals in the arts.
Previous recipients have included: Eli and Edythe Broad, Alice Walton, Charles and Valerie Diker, Kehinde Wiley, Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz, Marina Abramović, Sheikh Sultan Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, Frank Gehry, Roy Neuberger, Sarah Sze, and Eugene V. Thaw.
