Invite you to celebrate RU’s 8th anniversary benefit and our continued commitment to our resident creative forces.

In 2016, we hosted 69 artists and curators from 26 countries, organized 180 studio visits, 15 exhibitions and 22 talks.

The evening will celebrate the different cultures and heritages of our residents with curated artist experiences. There will be performances by Fielded and Taja Lindley, a photo booth installation by Lissa Rivera and Naomi Okubo, a dessert intervention by artist Chef Turi. With dinner and DJ, the night will close with RU’s signature raffle draw for a fully funded artist’s residency in Croatia.

The venue is in a private home in the East Village, the address will be sent upon ticket purchase.
