Each year, World Monuments Fund’s Hadrian Gala honors champions of conservation for their passionate commitment and extraordinary contributions to preserving and protecting the world’s shared cultural heritage with the Hadrian Award. Past honorees include Maryvonne Pinault, Christian Louboutin, Ellsworth Kelly, and His Majesty King Charles III, to name just a few. The Gala is WMF's largest fundraiser and highest-profile event of the year, raising critical funds for the organization. The 2024 Hadrian Gala raised a record $2.1 million USD.
Over the years, it’s been my pleasure to produce the myriad collateral that supports this event. In 2024, I was especially proud to produce and edit the videos highlighting the two Hadrian Award honorees, architect Peter Marino, FAIA and Dr. Marilyn Perry, Chair Emerita of World Monuments Fund and President Emerita of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation.
