Tuesday evening, CADAR was honored to partner in exclusivity with the Whitney Museum Gala
in celebration of art, culture, and philanthropy.
Rooted in New York’s Meatpacking District just blocks apart, the Whitney and CADAR share a
connection through creativity, craftsmanship, and contemporary expression.
Artist Julie Mehretu, celebrated for her large-scale abstract works and widely recognized as one
of the most influential contemporary artists of her generation, wore pieces from the CADAR
Foundations Collection throughout the evening. Fern Tessler, Vice Chairman of the Whitney
Museum, wore CADAR’s signature Water Cocktail Ring.
