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. Daryl Roth, and Nancy and Howard Marks are exemplary leaders who will deservingly receive this distinction.”
