The Frick Collection’s 2026 Autumn Dinner will take place on October 20. This annual black-tie event celebrates the institution and its enduring legacy and raises essential funds in support of the museum and Frick Art Research Library, including conservation initiatives, educational programs, and special exhibitions.

This year, the Autumn Dinner will honor Annabelle Selldorf, Principal of Selldorf Architects, who designed the Frick’s award-winning renovation and enhancement.

The evening will be held at the Frick’s beautifully restored Fifth Avenue mansion, whose thoughtful transformation under Selldorf’s leadership has brought renewed vitality to the institution. Guests will enjoy a cocktail reception at 7:00 p.m., followed by dinner and remarks at 8:00 p.m.
