Additionally, 13 new inductees to the Academy of the Arts will be recognized, including: Uri Berliner, Cynthia Daniels, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Robert Downey Jr., Susan Downey, Sunny Hostin, Fern Mallis, Susan Meiselas, Carl Safina, Marcus Samuelsson, Hank Willis Thomas, Rufus Wainwright, and Carrie Mae Weems. This evening is hosted by academy president Eric Fischl and features a special performance by the legendary Bernadette Peters.

“Guild Hall’s Academy of the Arts has been the lifeblood of our institution for nearly 40 years, providing us with creative connections and forward-thinking guidance,” said Guild Hall Executive Director Andrea Grover. “Our Lifetime Achievement honorees become a permanent part of Guild Hall’s history.
