Prepare for an unforgettable evening at one of San Francisco’s most anticipated celebrations of art and artists! SFMOMA invites you to join us at our signature fundraising event that transforms our iconic museum into an immersive playground of creativity and community.
The evening starts at 6 p.m. with cocktails and a dinner experience designed by Firelei Báez, who will transform our Floor 7 galleries into a primordial woodland of mystery and wonder. Guests will step into an immersive space like no other! During dinner, guests can participate in a dynamic live auction led by Sotheby’s auctioneer Phyllis Kao.
As night falls, 2,000 fellow art lovers join for a museumwide party until 1 a.m., featuring activations by local Bay Area artists Masako Miki and Jeffrey Sincich and custom-designed giveaways by artists Christina Marie Fong (Creativity Explored), Franna Lusson (Creative Growth), and Maria Radilla (NIAD Art Center).
Plus enjoy live musical performances by Martin Luther and band, DJ Shortkut, DJ Lady Ryan, and more, in partnership with Stern Grove Festival.
