Celebrate the vibrant spirit of the 1960s at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum’s signature fall Gala, an unforgettable party filled with merriment, music, and plenty of 1960s flair. The evening will highlight Marisol: A Retrospective and pay tribute to an era that produced radically creative artists and art movements that continue to inspire us today.
Enjoy a bubbly-filled cocktail hour, seated three-course dinner, and desserts prepared by the extraordinary chefs at Patina 250 along with live performances that echo the exuberance of the Swinging Sixties. In keeping with the 1960s theme, guests are encouraged to take inspiration from the highlighted exhibitions in their gala attire. From the iconic patterns and silhouettes of Marisol’s The Party to the vivid colors of the artist’s Mi Mama y Yo, celebrate this decade of Pop at Buffalo’s most creative black-tie gala.
More than a night of celebration, the Gala is an opportunity to support the Buffalo AKG Art Museum and its mission to inspire, educate, and enrich our community through art. Your participation and generosity support the work of bringing world-class exhibitions, educational programs, and community outreach initiatives to life. We look forward to sharing this glittering night of art and nostalgia with you, and we thank you for making a lasting impact on the Buffalo AKG Art Museum.
All proceeds benefit artistic, educational, and public programming at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum.
