Marking 96 Years of Arts and Civic Engagement in New York City

At its annual Spring Gala, The Metropolitan Museum of Art salutes leaders in the business sector for their professional accomplishments and dedication to corporate citizenship. This year, The Met is proud to honor Michael Corbat, Chief Executive Officer of Citi, alongside Oscar Tang, a noted philanthropist and a Met Trustee, with the Business Committee Civic Leadership Award.

For nearly 100 years, Citi has been a key partner in various programs at The Met, including the Corporate Patron Program, which helps support the Museum's groundbreaking exhibitions, renowned education programs, and world-class conservation efforts. In its partnership with The Met, Citi has helped the Museum further its mission to present over 5,000 years of art from around the world for everyone to experience and enjoy by sponsoring several noteworthy exhibitions and serving as a longtime supporter of the Family Pass, which provided free Museum admission to families of up to 10.

At this evening's gala, The Met's Business Committee, Trustees, and staff are pleased to salute the exceptional professional accomplishments of Michael Corbat as well as Citi's dedication to enriching the community through corporate citizenship under his guidance. As part of Citi's Employee Benefit Program, all Citi employees and one guest each receive free admission to visit the Museum's three locations—The Met Fifth Avenue, The Met Cloisters, and The Met Breuer.

Citi's embrace of progress and growth extends to ensuring that the next generation, their teachers, families, and communities—as well as Citi employees—can access and experience The Met's global offerings. Citi has been and continues to be a fantastic partner to The Met in championing creativity and inspiration for all in the 21st century.
