SculptureCenter Honors Thaddeus Mosley At Its Annual Gala

On April 11, the Long Island City-based destination for sculpture drew New Yorkers from the other four boroughs to Queens for a cocktail party, dinner, and after party. The evening honored Pennsylvanian sculptor Thaddeus Mosley and his prolific seven-decade career in the medium, along with patron Eleanor Heyman Propp. Artist collective CFGNY provided artistic direction for a rollicking after-party that featured performances by LYDO, Miho Hatori, and Word of Command. During the gala, whose proceeds will benefit the museum’s exhibitions and artists, guests toasted the Elaine Graham Weitzen Commissioning Fund for Emerging Artists—made possible by a $1,000,000 endowment from the late patron’s eponymous foundation. Notables in attendance included: Anicka Yi, Diane Severin Nguyen, Kelly Akashi, Ashley James, Tolia Astakhishvili, Hugh Hayden, Jessica Beck and Mary Mitsch, Courtney Willis Blair, and more.
