2026 marks a milestone year for Fine Art + Fashion, and we are turning the spotlight all the way up. For two dazzling decades, this signature celebration has fused fine art, fashion, and unapologetic fabulousness. NBAF, in partnership with Neiman Marcus Atlanta, gathers the city’s stylemakers, tastemakers, and culture lovers for an unforgettable evening where creativity meets purpose and glamour fuels impact.
This twentieth anniversary edition honors the evolution of excellence in design and visual artistry while raising vital funds for NBAF’s youth arts education programs. The night shines with four prestigious awards: the Radcliffe Bailey Excellence in Visual Art Award, the Fashion Designer Extraordinaire Award, the Fashion Forward Student Award, and the NextGen Visionary Art Award.
Join us as we champion NBAF’s Youth Arts initiatives, because ART IN EDUCATION IS A GOOD LOOK.
