PAST RxART PARTIES
The RxART PARTY celebrates our annual accomplishments and raises essential funds supporting RxART’s mission to connect pediatric hospitals with established artists who care about improving the patient experience. The event’s success allows RxART to fulfill more important artist commissions every year and to produce new projects with deserving children’s hospitals across the country.
The 2024 RxART PARTY, chaired by Dawn and David Lenhardt, was held on the evening of Wednesday, February 7, 2024 at The Bowery Hotel in New York City. It was a memorable opportunity to applaud the exceptional creativity and generosity of artist Harold Ancart as well as the visionary leadership of Dr. Harold Koplewicz, Founding President and Medical Director of the Child Mind Institute.
