Last night, the NYU Tisch School of the Arts Gala made its grand return at the Ziegfeld Ballroom after a two year hiatus due to COVID-19. With over 500 alumni, donors and supporters gathered to honor notable Tisch alumnus and Guggenheim Fellow, Hank Willis Thomas ('98), and MacArthur Fellow and chair of the Department of Photography & Imaging at Tisch, Deborah Willis.
