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's Gala will take place on Saturday, April 25, 2026, and will celebrate Stephanie and Tim Ingrassia and Titus Kaphar and Jason Price, the founders of NXTHVN. Our largest fundraising event of the year, the Gala will feature cocktails at the Museum, where the exhibitions Uman: After all the things ..., Jennie Jieun Lee: Luteal Elements and Grooves, and Chenlu Hou and Chiara No: What the Hands Remember to Hear will be on view in the galleries, followed by dinner and a live auction in our Sculpture Garden.

See photos from last year's event here.
