YoungArts’ Glamorous Raúl Àvila-Designed Gala Returns to the Met’s Iconic Temple of Dendur

Cultural luminaries, patrons, choreographers, curators and artists recently came together to raise more than $1 million for the organization.

There are few more reliable signs that spring has arrived in New York than the annual return of the YoungArts Gala to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Temple of Dendur, where members of the cultural, creative and philanthropic elite gather to celebrate the next generation of American artists at a fête designed, once again, by Raúl Àvila—the maestro behind the Met Gala and sundry major awards shows. Gala chairs Sarah Arison and Thomas Wilhelm, Gillian Hearst, Michi and Charles Jigarjian, and Sandra and Tony Tamer welcomed nearly 300 attendees this year to what began, as per usual, with an elegant cocktail reception that morphed into a celebration of emerging talent in the worlds of dance, music and song, ultimately raising over $1 million in support of YoungArts’ mission.
