Gordon Parks Foundation Awards Dinner
When: Tuesday, June 3, 5:30 pm

Why: The Gordon Parks Foundation honors individuals who have contributed their lives to the arts.

George Lucas and Mellody Hobson are being presented with the first Gordon Parks Patron of the Arts Award. The evening’s Co-Chairs include Alicia Keys, Karl Lagerfeld, Donna Karan and Kaseem "Swizz Beatz" Dean.
