PAF Party 2023
The annual PAF Party is Public Art Fund’s largest event of the year, where patrons, partners, artists, and friends come together to celebrate our work – and to raise vital funds to support exhibitions that enliven New York City’s five boroughs all year long!
In true Public Art Fund spirit, our PAF Party puts art and artists at the forefront. We hope you will celebrate with us and take part in our signature interactive artist projects and extraordinary silent auction, while enjoying cocktails and dinner. As always, we will end the night with our After Party, where guests of all ages join us for drinks and dancing.
