The raison d’être to greatly honor the entertainment industry in 2021 came forth in New York City last night at the 30th Annual Gotham IFP Awards.
Cipriani
A sophisticated meal of salmon with a side of garden salad and bruta cheese on a bed of sun-dried tomatoes sat at dozens of tables in Cipriani on 42nd Street. At the table’s center stood a three-tiered cake stand, reminiscent of a tea party, filled with bite-sized pastries and chocolate covered strawberries. The delicious meal couldn’t stop the women in the room from reaching for their “#BadAssFemaleJourno” buttons before reaching for their forks.
On Monday, October 21st, anyone who’s anyone in the art world shuffled down to the grand Cipriani at 42nd Street to celebrate The Americans for the Arts 2015 National Arts Awards (now in it’s 55th year!), first with cocktails then a dinner and an awards presentation. This evening in particular featured visual arts by Kerry James Marshall, an american painter.
