Tuesday, September 29, 2026
8:00–10:00 a.m.
Christie's | Rockefeller Center | New York City
Princeton in Latin America (PiLA) is pleased to return to Christie's for our second annual event, Breakfast at Christie's.
Bringing together PiLA alumni, Fellows, donors, board members, partners, and friends, Breakfast at Christie's is an opportunity to connect with the PiLA community while exploring the art, culture, and history of the region where our Fellows live and serve.
Guests will enjoy a light breakfast reception before joining a private, curator-led tour highlighting Latin American works on display ahead of Christie's Post-War to Present Live Auction. The morning will conclude with reflections from members of the PiLA community and an opportunity to learn more about PiLA's Fellowship Program and its impact throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

Why It Matters
Breakfast at Christie's brings together the community that makes PiLA's work possible. Alumni reconnect with one another, current and former Fellows share their experiences, donors learn more about PiLA's Fellowship Program, and new friends discover opportunities to become involved.
The event also reflects PiLA's longstanding commitment to Latin America and the Caribbean by creating space to engage with the region through art, conversation, and shared experiences.
Proceeds from Breakfast at Christie's directly support PiLA's Fellowship Program, helping prepare the next generation of Fellows to serve alongside nonprofit and community-based organizations throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
Building on Last Year's Success
Last year's inaugural A Night of Art & Impact welcomed more than 50 guests for an evening of conversation, art, and community. Intentionally designed as an intimate gathering, the event honored Peter Johnson, former President of the PiLA Board of Directors and a longtime champion of Princeton in Latin America and international exchange.
We are grateful to everyone who helped make the inaugural event a success, and we look forward to welcoming the PiLA community back to Christie's this September for a new spin on what we hope will become a long tradition.
