Patron and Fundraising Events

Beacon Gala

The annual gala celebrating the fall “beacon” exhibition is a hallmark event for museum patrons. The invitation-only party offers attendees an exclusive preview of the highly anticipated exhibition in the company of curators, lenders and sponsors, and fellow supporters. The setting of the museum after-hours, transformed by thematic entertainment and décor, is made all the more memorable with festive hors d’oeuvres and cocktails.
