Aldrich Gala

The Aldrich Gala in the Garden is the Museum’s largest annual fundraiser, providing essential support to advance its mission of presenting and commissioning the work of emerging and underrecognized artists.

This year, we are thrilled to celebrate Governor Ned Lamont and the State of Connecticut and artist Maren Hassinger. On Saturday, April 26, the evening will begin with cocktails in the Museum, where guests can experience the current exhibitions in the galleries. The celebration continues with dinner under the stars in the newly revitalized Sculpture Garden, followed by a live auction.

Tickets and more information available here.

For questions about the Gala, please contact Holly Hart, Head of Membership and Events, at hhart@thealdrich.org or 203.403.7357.
