New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts today announced its 2024 gala to be held on April 8 at Cipriani South Street. The annual gala celebrates the incredible accomplishments of the iconic arts institution and showcases the depth and breadth of the school’s program offerings. All proceeds from the gala will go towards funds to support the critical needs of talented Tisch students.
“We are thrilled to once again celebrate our remarkable and distinguished students, alumni and partners at the annual Tisch Gala,” said Allyson Green, Dean of NYU Tisch School of the Arts. “For nearly 20 years, the gala has illuminated the essential role the arts play in our lives while honoring the school’s past, present and future creative changemakers. This year’s gathering will once again raise vital funds for the school amidst a vibrant celebration of our community.”
