AFA Gala & Cultural Leadership Awards
10/26/2011 - By New York City

AFA Gala & Cultural Leadership Awards

The American Federation of Arts (AFA) held its 2011 Fall Gala & Cultural Leadership Awards on Wednesday, October 26, at the Metropolitan Club in New York.

This year’s honorees were renowned performance artist Marina Abramović and National Gallery of Art Director Earl A. Powell III. Abramović and Powell were introduced and their awards presented by Klaus Biesenbach, Director of MoMA PS1 and a Chief Curator at Large at the Museum of Modern Art, and Philippe de Montebello, Fiske Kimball Professor in the History and Culture of Museums at the Institute of Fine Arts and Director Emeritus of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, respectively.

The evening began with a cocktail reception, followed by a seated dinner, raffle drawings for a print by April Gornik and a painting by Richard Bell, and dancing and cocktails to conclude the evening. Each guest went home with a fabulous red, custom-edition Moleskine notebook that features excerpts from Abramović’s “An Artist's Life Manifesto” and was designed by Abramović specially for the AFA gala.
