Parker Posey,
Alan Cumming and
Tori Burch were among the celebrities to attend tonight's
Tribeca Ball, held in honor of the
New York Academy of Art. The miserable weather (wet and icy snow) did not stop art-loving attendees from coming by to view five floors' worth of student paintings, illustration and sculpture (some of which were being worked on during the evening). Following their tour of the building, patrons decamped to the first floor for dinner and dancing.
The Academy, which was founded as a drawing society by
Andy Warhol and
Tom Wolfe, among others, celebrates its silver anniversary this year.
