Saturday, March 9

Thank you all for a smashing evening!

See photos of the event along with photos from the red carpet.

Cocktails. Music. Art.

It all began in March 1950...

Come celebrate with a Gala that goes from Bossa Nova to Beatnik. The Columbia Museum of Art was founded in 1950, when fabulous cocktail parties were de rigueur. Now the CMA is ready for a bigger, better, bolder future. This not-to-be-missed party promises to be a night filled with retro revelry and vintage glamour.

Featuring

  • Root Doctors in Palm Springs themed room
  • Mark Rapp in the Copacabana bar and lounge
  • Characters from the era - surprise performances by Marilyn Monroe and Carmen Miranda and photo opportunities with the Rat Pack, Audrey Hepburn, and Jackie Kennedy
  • Delicious fare by Southern Way Catering
  • Official after-party at The Grand on Main
