El Museo del Barrio’s Annual Gala Honors Latin American Artists

On September 7, El Museo del Barrio hosted its annual gala at the Plaza Hotel in New York. The evening, a major fundraising event for the nation’s leading Latinx and Latin American cultural institution, honored the artist Coco Fusco and Juan Beckmann for their contribution to the arts. It also celebrated Carlos Martiel, the winner of the inaugural Maestro Dobel Latinx Art Prize. Guests gathered for a lively evening of dinner and dancing to a performance by the Spanish Harlem Orchestra before bidding on a silent auction of Latin American artists hosted by Artsy. Notable guests in attendance included Nicole Berry, Cristina Grajales, Ilana Sadie, Fabiola Beracasa, Ana Khouri, Willy Chavarria, and more. Photos by Madison Voelkel/BFA.
