Kosciuszko Foundation Ball is a celebration of a mission fulfilled and the benefactors who made it possible.

This year, we have the honor of recognizing Martha Stewart, a visionary and entrepreneurial mogul, who happens to be of entirely Polish heritage (born as Martha Kostyra). Our Ball Chairman is Professor Waldemar Priebe, and our honoree will be renowned biochemist and researcher, Professor Piotr Chomczynski.

Creative Time honoring Craig Robbins

Craig-Robins

Thursday April 28: 6 pm Cocktails 8 pm Dinner
MAST CHOCOLATE’S FUTURE FACTORY, BUILDING 28, BROOKLYN NAVY YARD

Once a year, Creative Time throws a show-stopping gala the New York Observer calls, “One of the art world’s top ten, break the mold spring fundraisers.” Your support of the Spring Gala helps to ensure millions of people have free opportunities to engage with the most trailblazing art of our times. This year, we are thrilled to honor Craig Robins, the visionary behind Miami Design District and Design Miami, and celebrate the inimitable artist Rirkrit Tiravanija, in a fantastical Brooklyn Navy Yard location.

Like Creative Time, Craig Robins ignites the public’s imagination, exploring ideas that shape society and engaging people around the globe. For more than three decades Robins has championed creative communities and fore-fronted public art through his professional life and philanthropy. He has proven himself to be an ever-inspiring cultural leader with an ambition to make the world a better place.

Rirkrit Tiravanija is an artist that embodies the ethos of Creative Time. Tiravanija creates socially-engaged art works that blur boundaries and bring people together, often using human interaction as his primary material. From the 2006 Whitney Biennial to the 50th Venice Biennale to the Museum of Modern Art and the Serpentine Gallery, Tiravanija is lauded the world over.

The 2016 Creative Time Gala is not to be missed. We promise you a night to remember!

ReadAlliance Spring Benefit

Thursday, April 21 at 6:30 pm
The Park Café at Time Warner, 1 Time Warner Center, 10th Fl, 10 Columbus Circle, New York

Please join us for this special reception of networking, meeting our teen tutors, and helping to give the gift of reading.

Honoring Vincent Alfieri and Bryan Cave LLP

Reading is the gateway to all academic success. Through the ReadAlliance program, young students who were not able to read average more than a full year’s growth, and will maintain these strong results through at least third grade. Direct benefits start with the child, who becomes able to participate in the classroom and interact with his or her teacher. Once the students are ready to move beyond basic reading skills, their entire class is able to advance to more complex and relevant material together.

NYFOS Spring Gala

nyfos

Tuesday, April 5 at  7 pm
Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall

with dinner and additional performances to follow at ’21’ Club

A delicious starry cast performs songs and scenes from the G&S canon, operettas that combine the wit of Oscar Wilde with the delicacy of Mendelssohn. Emmy and Tony Award winner David Hyde Pierce, Lauren Worsham and Bryce Pinkham (each nominated for a Tony Award for their performances in A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder), and the devilishly funny and sublime English tenor Hal Cazalet bring their singular wit and charm to The Mikado and The Pirates of Penzance, among other favorite G&S shows.
