Alliance For The Arts Presents 2009 Prize At Beautiful Park Dinner

[All photos by WILL RAGOZZINO for PMc]. Yesterday evening, the Alliance for the Arts organization presented Frederic S. Papert with the 2009 prize at a sold out dinner in the picturesque Central Park Boathouse. On a perfect September evening, the park was just the setting to escape the city. Including special appearances by members from the cast of Broadway’s West Side Story revival, the annual benefit supported the organization’s mission of serving the cultural community and the public through research, advocacy and promotion.
