Young Patrons Annual Gala

On Thursday, May 19th, the American Friends of the Louvre's Young Patrons Circle hosted its annual spring gala. This year's gala, Soirée d'Or, began with a seated 3-course dinner in the Madison Room of the Villard Mansion at the Lotte New York Palace and followed with a cocktail soirée and silent auction. The proceeds of the evening will support the mission of American Friends of the Louvre and its efforts to make the Louvre's collections and exhibitions more widely accessible to art lovers in the U.S. and around the world. Through special fundraising events and activities in New York City, the Young Patrons Circle supports AFL’s mission to raise awareness for the Louvre’s collections and museum expertise. Now in its sixth year, the Young Patrons Circle annual benefit has become a prime example of Franco-American support for the Louvre Museum.
