2020 Virtual Benefit Gala
This year, The Drawing Center will reimagine its annual Benefit Gala as a virtual event honoring three remarkable individuals who have given so much to contemporary culture: curator, philanthropist, discerning collector, and President of the Ellsworth Kelly Foundation Jack Shear; award-winning novelist, essayist, and critic Zadie Smith; and the Los Angeles-based artist Henry Taylor, an extraordinary and inveterate draftsman.
Each year, through the generosity of our guests, The Drawing Center’s Benefit Gala continues to be the leading fundraiser in support of our organization.
