Tribeca Ball is, above all, a celebration in support of the next generation of artists. Proceeds from the evening fund scholarships and sustain the New York Academy of Art’s mission to train emerging artists through rigorous technical education, critical dialogue, and a lasting commitment to figurative and representational art. Founded in 1982 by artists, scholars, and patrons including Andy Warhol, the Academy continues to nurture artists as they build the skills needed to create powerful contemporary work.
