2025 ACP Auction Gala

This year’s gala, Expanded Aperture, reflects ACP’s commitment to broadening artistic horizons. Just as an aperture opens to let in more light, ACP opens new pathways for photographers through artwork commissions, community collaborations, and dynamic programming that transforms how we see and engage with the world.

Join us at the striking Forth Hotel, a space whose very architecture mirrors the theme of expanded vision. The evening will begin with a silent auction and cocktail hour followed by a three-course dinner and presentation honoring this year’s event honorees: Corinne Adams and Mickalene Thomas.

Brayan Enriquez: Like Hills Made of Sand

For this new body of work, Enriquez traveled to Mexico for the first time to visit his extended family, many of whom he had never met due to travel restrictions or had not seen since their deportation from the U.S. over a decade ago.

The resulting intimate portraits are interspersed with artifacts from his family’s archive, mining lived experiences spanning generations and nation-states to image the invisible effects of U.S. immigration policies.
