Young Benefactors: Events

Young Benefactors will host an array of events over the course of 2008, the majority of which will be in New York City and on the East Coast. Events will take place as part of the YB Series, consisting of film screenings, artist lectures, and receptions. Other Young Benefactors happenings include an annual Fall Benefit Party.

Young Benefactors programming focuses on a different theme each year. Arts and Civic Engagement is the theme for 2008. Through programs that investigate topics like political expression through the arts and art and the environment, Young Benefactors will explore and experience the many ways the arts and artists create dialogue and provoke social change.
