Arts advocate Dorothy Lichtenstein will be honored at the 19th annual Stars of Stony Brook Gala on Wednesday, April 11 at Pier Sixty at Chelsea Piers in New York City. Special guests at the fundraising dinner party will include CBS Sunday Morning anchor Jane Pauley and Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau. Lichtenstein is widely known for her position as president of the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation, established after her artist husband’s death in 1997 to facilitate access to the work of Roy Lichtenstein and the art and artists of his time. She will be recognized for her long-standing support of the universities arts and cultural programs that provide a vibrant incubator for emerging and established writers and filmmakers located on Long Island’s East End and in Manhattan. Since its inception in 2000, the Stony Brook Foundation Stars of Stony Brook Gala has raised nearly $50 million to support student scholarships and a featured academic program of excellence. This year’s gala is celebrating the Stony Brook Southampton creative writing and film programs and benefit student scholarships.
