The Rothko Chapel only holds a fundraising gala for special occasions — this is not an annual affair. As this year marks 50 years since John and Dominique de Menil commissioned Mark Rothko to create a sacred place, the event commemorate this milestone by honoring Tilda Swinton.

For more than 25 years, Swinton has forged a career that transcends conventional boundaries, integrating theater, film, art and fashion. In addition to award-winning performances in feature films, she has dedicated herself to producing and performing in independent, groundbreaking cinema and arts projects.
