The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization, announced that the multi-talented artist Bill T Jones will be honored at the 2016 Greater New York Gala Dinner on Sat Feb 6, 2016, at the Waldorf Astoria (301 Park Ave). In 1982, Jones formed the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company with his late partner, Arnie Zane, who died of AIDS-related illness in 1988. A multi-talented artist, choreographer, dancer, artistic director and writer, Jones has received major honors including the 2013 National Medal of Arts, a 1994 MacArthur "Genius" Award, multiple Tony Awards, Kennedy Center Honors in 2010, and many more. In addition to creating more than 140 works for his own company, Jones has collaborated with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Boston Ballet, Lyon Opera Ballet, Toni Morrison and Max Roach, and Jessye Norman, among many others. Jones will be honored with the HRC Visibility Award for his work to bring to light the struggles and resilience of those living with HIV. As previously announced, Accenture will receive the HRC Corporate Equality Award at the event for their commitment to equality for the LGBT community. To purchase tickets for the gala, please visit www.HRCGreaterNY.org.
