Art21 will honor artists Paul Pfeiffer and Charles Gaines at its 2026 Spring Gala on April 14, alongside a tribute to philanthropist Agnes Gund. The event, held at Tribeca Rooftop, features a live auction of exclusive experiences and a marching band procession, and serves as the centerpiece of the organization's year-long 25th-anniversary celebration.
The gala highlights Art21's quarter-century mission of increasing access to contemporary art through films and educational programs distributed globally. Honoring these influential artists underscores the organization's role in documenting and amplifying artists' ideas, while the anniversary marks its significant impact on audiences, educators, and institutions worldwide.
