AFA has hosted nearly 100 events to honor and showcase some of the greatest artists, directors, authors, and entertainment figures of the last 25 years. Many events provided charitable contributions for such organizations as The Schneider Children’s Hospital, the National Hungerthon campaign, and Toys for Tots. The gallery has hosted benefits with the American Breast Cancer Foundation and The Jim Henson Foundation, among others, and has supported the arts through collaborations with MoMA, BAM, MOMI, MoCCA, The Society of Illustrators and The Charles Schulz Museum.
AFA SoHo is available to rent for private functions. The sunny, beatiful corner showroom in SoHo has housed charitable functions, personal receptions, musical acts, awards ceremonies, media gatherings, class visits, commercial photoshoots, red carpet events, and much more.
