Deets: The Museum of Modern Art’s Party in the Garden, a benefit event to be held on June 5, will honor Eva and Glenn Dubin and Susan and David Rockefeller, along with collection artists Vija Celmins and Carrie Mae Weems. In recognition of their prolonged commitment to culture, the arts, and MoMA, this year’s honorees are being celebrated for their artistry and philanthropy. Co-chairs of the event are Agnes Gund, Jo Carole and Ronald S. Lauder, Mimi Haas, and Marlene Hess and James D. Zirin. Honorary co-chairs are Leon D. Black, Marie-Josée Kravis and Jerry I. Speyer.
In addition, this year’s after-party will feature a special host committee of emerging female artists affiliated with the museum, including: Zoë Buckman, Molly Crabapple, Teresita Fernández, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Anna Rose Holmer, Steffani Jemison, Jing Liu, Jumana Manna, Mika Rottenberg, Emily Roysdon, Erin Shirreff, Xaveria Simmons, Taryn Simon, Avery K.

An after-party will be highlighted by a special musical performance by James Blake, which will take place in MoMA’s Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden. Blake’s second studio album Overgrown was released in 2013 and was awarded the Mercury Prize. Blake received his second Grammy Award nomination at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards for Best New Artist. His third studio album The Colour in Anything was released in 2016, to critical acclaim. Both as a musician and producer, Blake has collaborated with Bon Iver, Frank Ocean, Drake, Chance the Rapper, Beyoncé and most recently, Kendrick Lamar. This performance will be the New York debut of his new highly anticipated solo piano show. Additionally, the evening will feature DJ sets by KAYTRANADA and KLAUS (1-800 DINOSAUR).
