Museum of the Moving Image Salute

Since 1985, the Museum has honored American actors and directors at the peak of their careers at its annual star-studded black-tie gala. As one of New York’s most notable lifetime achievement tributes, this special evening features cocktails, dinner, and a lively program with remarks by a stellar group of the honoree’s friends and colleagues introducing career highlight clips, and is capped by the honoree taking the stage to receive the award.

Funds raised from the Salute support the Museum’s programs, exhibitions, and educational activities. The education programs, which include curriculum-based tours, screenings, and workshops, serve 50,000 students per year.
