24th Annual Bacchanal Wine Gala and Auction
The 24th Annual Bacchanal Wine Gala and Auction will be held on Saturday, November 12, 2022 at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
Bacchanal is PAFA’s signature fundraising event supporting world-class art and artmaking in Philadelphia. This year, we are thrilled to honor philanthropists Jamie and Kristin Biddle as well as the artistic achievement of Jonathan Lyndon Chase (MFA ’16). Join us for a gourmet dinner by Featured Chef Pierre Calmels, expertly paired with premier wines. Top off the celebration with bids on an array of distinctive auction items and an evening of dancing!
Support of Bacchanal advances PAFA’s tradition of excellence in American art—from the legacies of Violet Oakley, Henry Ossawa Tanner, and Barkley L. Hendricks to today’s brightest creative talents including Njideka Akunyili Crosby and David Lynch. Since its inception, Bacchanal has raised more than $10 million in support of PAFA’s emerging artists. Join us to advance the next era of artistic innovation at PAFA.
We hope you will raise a glass with us at Bacchanal 2022.
