On
October 25, the Princess Grace Foundation–USA
(PGF-USA) hosted the 25th Anniversary
Princess Grace Awards Gala at
Sotheby's New York and presented 22 Awards
to emerging artists in theater, dance and film, as
well as two Princess Grace Statue Awards to
artists who have previously won Awards and have shown
achievement and growth in their respective fields. Every
year, PGF-USA proudly awards these prizes at its annual
gala to support its mission of providing
crucial support to emerging artists in America. Princess
Grace Awards honorees came to New York City this week
