AAI's 40th Annual Awards Gala

We are excited to announce AAI’s 40th Annual Awards Gala Bridging Cultures & Igniting Futures on Tuesday, September 24th at Cipriani 42nd Street, NYC.

Established in 1984 as a way for AAI to contribute to building new narratives about Africa, the AAI Annual Awards Gala is the preeminent NYC based celebration of the achievements of Africans and the global African diaspora.

Drawing more than 500 distinguished guests, the AAI Gala convenes dignitaries—Heads of State, diplomats, domestic and international government officials—philanthropists, business leaders, journalists, scholars, and other prominent figures for a night highlighting African success and enlightened engagement between Africa and America.

This year AAI’s 40th Annual Awards Gala will be a celebration of the contributions and achievements of African and Diasporan artists and cultural icons. Join us on September 24th as we celebrate those “Bridging Cultures and Igniting Futures.”
