AMA New York International Women’s Day Fundraiser

A special invite for women of all marketing specialties to share a toast of champagne with us during New York Art Week in Manhattan’s art district.
Art takes Manhattan will serve as host of the event providing its premises at 524 W 26th Street and will hold a drawing among ticketed attendees to award original masterpieces, while all ticket revenues will be donated to the Grace Institute, New York City’s leading tuition-free job training program for women.
Marvel at monumental street projections and timeless performances at our Steinway grand piano. Mix and mingle with fellow marketing professionals and, for once, also with world-famous artists such as BAFTAS Awards’ favorite artist Lincoln Townley, Palma d'Oro at the Biennale Montecarlo 2016 Somsak Chaituch, or Russian Fine Arts Academy’s Gold Medal Angel Orensanz, or George H. Lewis whose paintings rest in the private collections of President Bill Clinton and David Rockefeller Jr.
