Celebrate in style at the Fine Arts Museums’ annual fundraiser, benefiting exhibition and community programming for Bay Area audiences and beyond.

Join us in celebrating the transformative power of art and possibility. The evening will include 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 will coincide with three upcoming exhibitions on view 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.
