Awarding the First Rubin Museum Himalayan Art Prize

We are passionate about increasing the visibility of promising artists and creatives from the Himalayan region and diaspora, and we will award the first-ever Rubin Museum Himalayan Art Prize at the Gala. The prize recognizes the work of an innovative individual or collective who has significantly contributed to creative and critically relevant dialogues between Himalayan art and contemporary life. The Rubin’s dedication to living artists from the region as well as the contemporary art field is paramount, and this honored prize, which includes an unrestricted cash gift, will be awarded annually.

Your Gift Will Be Matched—20th-Anniversary Challenge

Your Gala support will be doubled! To bolster the Rubin’s bold plans to bring Himalayan art to people wherever they live, one of our generous donors has offered to match all Gala donations through June 30 (up to $250,000). Your timely gift will help us reach our ambitious goal of $500,000. Just think what the Rubin can do—the lives we can touch, the curiosity we can inspire, and the impact we can make—locally, nationally, and internationally.
