Party in the Garden 2019

The Museum of Modern Art’s Party in the Garden, a benefit event to be held on June 4, will honor Alice and Tom Tisch, Yvonne Rainer, and Diller Scofidio + Renfro. This year’s honorees are being celebrated for their extraordinary artistry and philanthropy. The Tisches’ prolonged commitment to culture, the arts, and MoMA are evidenced by Alice’s seven-and-a-half-year tenure as a MoMA Trustee and her active participation on 11 Trustee Committees. Yvonne Rainer was highlighted in MoMA’s recent exhibition Judson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done, and her work continues to challenge the movement conventions and narrative structures of modern dance, leaving a lasting influence that is felt across generations of artists. Diller Scofidio + Renfro is overseeing MoMA’s renovation and expansion project, which will open on October 21, 2019. Their interdisciplinary practice and innovative designs merge art and architecture with issues of contemporary culture.
