The Facts
On October 21, 2026, the Rema Hort Mann Fund announced its 2026 gala and benefit art auction, celebrating the nonprofit’s 30th anniversary and raising funds for its Artists Living with Cancer Grant, launched in 2026 to provide direct financial support to New York metropolitan-area visual artists undergoing active cancer treatment. The online auction runs October 19–28, 2026, and the live auction and gala take place October 28, 2026, at Tribeca Rooftop in New York. Hosted by Phillips, the auction features 85 artworks, including works by Derrick Adams and Spencer Sweeney.
The Signal
The gala marks a milestone for a nonprofit that has spent three decades pairing contemporary-art fundraising with cancer-patient support, and the new grant addresses a gap in assistance for working artists during treatment. For collectors, the auction offers an accessible entry point to contemporary art through recognized names such as Adams and Sweeney, while signaling Phillips’s continued involvement in benefit sales alongside its commercial calendar.
