Join us for A Toast to Downtown, LMCC’s first virtual celebration on December 9, 2020 at 7pm. Together, we will  celebrate the critical work and voices of NYC’s independent artists, and the civic leaders who help make this work possible.

LMCC will recognize Jessica Lappin, President of the Downtown Alliance, and Maggie Boepple, former LMCC President and former President of The Ronald O. Perelman Performing Arts Center with Liberty Awards for Civic Leadership. 

In addition to our civic leaders, we will present Amina Henry with the Sarah Verdone Writing Award, Eiko Otake with the Sam Miller Award for Performing Arts, and Paul Pfeiffer with the Michael Richards Award for Visual Arts. 

Special guests include LMCC artists and alumni Morgan Bassichis, Mona Chalabi, Ivy Mix and Mariana Valencia! 

All those who donate $20 or more will automatically be entered to win a signed, limited edition 100 New Yorkers print by River To River 2020 artist Mona Chalabi. 

We hope you will raise a glass to our artists and community with LMCC at A Toast to Downtown!

Closed captioning will be available during this event.

Please note that this event will be recorded for archival purposes only.
