"The ADAA's announcement of a new philanthropic relationship with the Manhattan museum is the latest twist in the association's sudden distancing from the Henry Street Settlement last summer."
"When ADAA unexpectedly canceled the fair, leadership at the Henry Street Settlement had to launch a new fundraiser to recoup funds for its programming over the summer."
"Now, the organization says proceeds from its new fair's preview gala will go toward the Whitney's education and artistic programs."
"A spokesperson for the ADAA did not directly respond to inquiries about which specific initiatives the new show would benefit."
The Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) ended its long-standing partnership with Henry Street Settlement and announced a new collaboration with the Whitney Museum of American Art. The ADAA canceled its Art Show, which had provided significant funding to Henry Street, prompting the nonprofit to seek alternative fundraising. The ADAA plans to launch a new fair, the ADAA Fair, with proceeds from its preview gala supporting the Whitney's educational and artistic programs, although specific initiatives remain unclear.
