We were thrilled to honor photographer and philanthropist Judy Glickman Lauder and give a special thanks to departing long time AFA trustee, Stephanie LaNasa. This celebratory evening was filled with music, art, and community and served as an opportunity to highlight the AFA’s important work of touring exhibitions arounds the country.
