Yaddo Summer Benefit: Celebrating 100 Years of Artists

About this event

This year's Summer Benefit celebrates two milestones in Yaddo's history: the 100th anniversary of our Artist Residency Program and the extraordinary leadership of President Elaina Richardson, who is stepping down after twenty-six years.

The evening will reflect on a century of artistic achievement while underscoring Yaddo's status as a vibrant haven for contemporary artists. The program will also honor Elaina's enduring impact and the countless artists whose work has thrived under her leadership.
