Town & Country - At Last Night's Ailey Gala
Last night's opening gala benefit for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater conjured decidedly mixed feelings. On one hand, the event raised $4.6 million, capping off a $47 million haul for the year. On the other, it was the last gala the organization will see with powerhouse philanthropist Joan Weill as its board chairman: this fall, after twenty years as a trustee, Weill stepped down, having bolstered the dance troupe in ways all but a few artistic foundations can dream.
