Inside the Brooklyn Museum's 2022 Artists Ball
On April 12, the Brooklyn Museum hosted its annual Brooklyn Artists Ball, welcoming more than 600 guests to the New York City institution to honor Maria Grazia Chiuri, Saundra Williams-Cornwell, and W. Don Cornwell during an evening that raised a record $2.4 million for the museum.
Art world luminaries like Judy Chicago, Swizz Beats, Thelma Golden, Marilyn Minter, and Hank Willis Thomas enjoyed cocktails—as well as a virtual reality experience by Marco Brambilla and a photo booth by Randy Polumbo—before a dinner in the museum’s Beaux-Arts Court, which was designed by David Stark for the occasion. After the tables were cleared, the beloved Artists Ball After Party welcomed DJ Runna before Swizz Beats, a Brooklyn Museum trustee, spun a set.
