Leadership Circle, Patrons Circle, and exhibition sponsors are invited to the opening celebration of Ansel Adams in Our Time. Donors will enjoy private gallery time, and partake in a cocktail reception with light bites and entertainment from 7 to 9 pm.

Ansel Adams in Our Time traces the iconic visual legacy of photographer Ansel Adams (1902 – 1984), presenting some of his most celebrated images. The exhibition looks both backward and forward in time: Adams’ enduring photographs are presented alongside prints by some of the 19th-century photographers who influenced him, as well as works by contemporary artists whose own works refer directly to the long shadow cast by Adams’ images of the American West.
