Every fall, we proudly host our annual gala—a festive evening that raises vital operating funds for the museum. These funds allow us to continue presenting the forefront of contemporary artistic practice and production through exhibitions, performances and public programs, all with free admission.

This year, the gala is a black tie event and will take place on Friday, 20 September from 7.00 pm. When you attend our gala or make a donation, you're not just supporting a single event; you're investing in our mission to advance the discovery and appreciation of the art of this moment.
