The Albright-Knox is a public institution and a community resource, and it is our duty to uphold protocols that maintain our collective health and safety. We are closely monitoring the Coronavirus pandemic and still plan to gather at an in-person gala with the following guidelines:

• We respectfully request that fully vaccinated individuals kindly share a copy of their vaccination card prior to the gala or upon entry.
• We ask that unvaccinated individuals share the results of a negative COVID-19 test administered within 72 hours of the start of the event. In accordance with New York State guidelines, all unvaccinated individuals must wear a mask when they are not eating or drinking.
• Regardless of vaccination status, anyone who does not feel well on the day of the gala should stay home and rest.

If infection rates in our area require a cancellation of the gala, we are prepared to present a virtual evening filled with artist visits, a glimpse into the future Buffalo AKG Art Museum, and food and beverage made available for your home.

If any of these protocols cannot be met, or if you are unable to attend for any of the aforementioned reasons, our team will gladly refund your donation or redirect it to another project that is meaningful to you and your family.

Thank you for your support of the museum in these extraordinary times.
