Leadership Circle, Patrons Circle, and exhibition sponsors are invited to a reception celebrating Monet and Venice. Donors will enjoy private gallery time, a cocktail reception with light bites, and entertainment from 6 to 7:30 pm.
Although Claude Monet visited Venice only once, his paintings of the city are among his most dazzling. Monet and Venice, co-organized with the Brooklyn Museum, is the first exhibition dedicated to Monet’s Venetian cityscapes since their debut over a century ago. Featuring more than 100 artworks, the exhibition places Monet’s Venice paintings alongside select works from across his career, including his Water Lilies, as well as Venetian views by artists such as Manet, Renoir, and Canaletto.
