A look inside the Art Production Fund Gala that honored Sanford Biggers
It was more than just a reunion at the Art Production Fund’s 11th annual gala, it was a night to remember. In honor of Harlem-based artist Sanford Biggers, APF’s Casey Fremont and Kathleen Lynch teamed up with Saks to bring the community together for the first time in two years.project was such a moving experience because of who he is. He is an incredibly graceful, obviously brilliant, and very special artist.
The “tight-knit” dress code for the evening was creatively interpreted in many ways. Alice & Olivia’s Stacey Bendet outfitted her entourage in bold, spring-forward ensembles that threaded together swimmingly. The Gucci guests flocked together in colorful feathered numbers, Chanel’s party aligned on all things tweed, and Burberry’s table was all about statement sequins while others opted for more sophisticated knit silhouettes.
While guests enjoyed the delightful menu crafted by board member Sarah Hoover, Fremont and Lynch took to the stage to thank APF’s co-founders Doreen Remen and Yvonne Force Villareal for building such an impressive organization. And for the highly anticipated moment of the night, long-time friend chef Marcus Samuelsson shared a heartfelt speech to honor Biggers’ achievements. A man of many talents and accolades, Biggers has most recently been appointed the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
