On September 10th, our annual fundraising event takes on a celestial theme with the highly anticipated Stardust Gala, held at Grimm Gallery. More than just a typical benefit evening, the Gala promises an immersive experience where art, dreams, and transatlantic dialogue converge.

Why “Stardust”? Just like the literal dust settling at our townhouse on 1014 Fifth Avenue during its ongoing transformation, stardust-in all its messiness and beauty-symbolizes both the creative chaos of change and the cosmic wonder of possibility. It speaks to vision, legacy, and imagination.

Guests are treated to Sipping Dreams, an interactive performance by artist Doreen Chan where personal dreams are translated into bespoke cocktails. Later, acclaimed chef Eduard Frauneder takes them on a culinary journey that transcends borders and time – all set amidst Rafał Topolewski's art reflecting on dreams and the fragility and power of human condition.

Under a canopy of possibility, we embrace a night of connection and creativity. Whether or not the stars align, we gather to illuminate a future shaped by shared vision and imagination.

The Stardust Gala reflects our ongoing commitment to creating a vibrant space where art, culture, and ideas flow between Europe and the United States. As construction progresses on our historic building, this year’s gala invites guests to come together under a symbolic—and perhaps even literal—canopy of stars, dreaming together toward a shared future.
