RACC 2009 GALA

The Russian American Cultural Center is excited to be celebrating its 11th Anniversary and the extraordinary success of our exhibition HOMAGE TO DIAGHILEV’s ENDURING LEGACY. Rediscovered Gems of the 20th Century. This exhibition, curated by Regina Khidekel at the Harriman Institute of Columbia University in Spring 09 in conjunction with the Centennial Celebration of the Ballets Russes, is going to be presented on a grand scale at the spectacular Ana Tzarev Gallery, located at 24 West 57th Street.

It is with great anticipation that we announce the 2009 RACC Gala, which will support the center’s educational programs, an upcoming groundbreaking exhibit of emerging Russian-American artists, and the establishment of a permanent home for the Center. This new home will include a museum for our unique and ever growing art collection. The event will be highly publicized and advertised in press and TV.
 

The centerpiece of the evening along with our outstanding exhibition on stage design, HOMAGE TO DIAGHILEV’s ENDURING LEGACY, will be a unique art performance combining fine art, opera, and Avant – garde theatre. Created by a team of up and coming composers, musicians, dancers and singers, it promises to be a riveting manifestation of the power, vitality and beauty of art and theater.
 

The Gala will also feature a silent and live art auction, cocktail reception, buffet dinner, live music, and fashion extravaganza. Our stunning 72-page exhibition catalog will be our gift for our guests.
