The Bacchanal Wine Gala and Auction,  PAFA’s signature fundraising event, celebrated its 26th year on Saturday, November 9, 2024. Support of Bacchanal advances PAFA’s tradition of excellence in American art—from the legacies of Violet Oakley, Henry Ossawa Tanner, and Barkley L. Hendricks to today’s brightest creative talents including Njideka Akunyili Crosby and David Lynch. Since its inception, Bacchanal has raised more than $10 million in support of PAFA’s emerging artists.
