Leadership Circle, Patrons Circle, and exhibition sponsors are invited to a reception honoring Paul McCartney Photographs 1963–64: Eyes of the Storm. Donors will enjoy private gallery time, a cocktail reception with light bites, and entertainment from 6–7:30 pm.

Celebrate the opening of the exhibition and catch a glimpse into the meteoric rise of Beatlemania through the lens of Paul McCartney, who documented the Beatles’ first US trip from December 1963 to February 1964 with his 35mm Pentax camera. McCartney’s photographs constitute a visual diary of this pivotal moment in popular culture, offering new perspectives on the band, their fans, and the early 1960s.
