Pack your bags and hop aboard as we celebrate 75 years of artistic excellence and community engagement! The Columbia Museum of Art cordially invites you to an unforgettable evening that transcends time and culture.
This landmark Gala marks the grand unveiling of our reinstalled collection. Be the first to see these galleries as you journey through the museum’s collecting pillars: Asian, European, American, and modern and contemporary art, discovering how global movements have influenced artistic evolution and how the CMA celebrates these legacies in dazzling new ways.
This travel-themed evening features catering from City Grit and Scott Hall, themed bars with specialty cocktails from Twist Bartending, and florals from WAS Design Works. Entertainment includes live painting, special guest appearances, and live music from The Root Doctors — dubbed “the funkiest band around” — bringing their signature party sound with covers new and old.
$200 / $175 for members
