Join us in celebrating the transformative power of art and possibility. Our Annual Gala benefits exhibition and community programming for Bay Area audiences and beyond. The evening includes a seated dinner, an honoree program, and Late Night — the gala’s after-party featuring access to galleries, playful pop-up activations, and performances throughout the museum.
This event coincides with three exhibitions at the de Young: Fashioning San Francisco: A Century of Style, a showcase of high fashion and haute couture, Irving Penn, featuring work from one of the 20th century’s greatest photographers, and Lee Mingwei: Rituals of Care, the first US museum exhibition of works by the prominent Taiwanese-American artist.
