Join us for AMA New York’s first fundraiser to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women for International Women’s Day. Enjoy live performances, music, and fine art with a glass of champagne paired with exquisite hors d’oeuvres, during New York Art Week in Manhattan’s art district thanks to the generous sponsorship of Morgan Stanley.
All ticket revenues will be donated to the Grace Institute, New York City’s leading tuition-free job training program for women. As a token of gratitude, AMA New York will recognize donations of $100 or more in post-event communications. Patrons who donate more than $500 will receive an original hand-painted bottle of Gran Reserva wine.

About Domingo Zapata – Artist benefactor
