The evening will celebrate community leaders The Focardi Family, philanthropist Mark Mahaffey, and artist Jake Troyli.
Inspired by the transformative power of art, thec evening will feature immersive experiences throughout the museum, exceptional dining, live entertainment, and special access to the galleries—including Jake Troyli’s exhibition By Any Stretch throughout the celebration.
