Tisch Gala 2016
To all of our students, parents, supporters, performers, Dean's Council members, Parents' Council members, and friends who supported the 50th Anniversary Tisch Gala - THANK YOU!
The event raised more than $2,100,000 – a gala record – and the gifts continue to arrive! This vital scholarship support provides the opportunity for ALL students with the requisite talent and passion to follow their dreams to come to NYU Tisch School of the Arts.
