The event offered a preview of the museum’s current exhibition “Alexis Smith: The American Way.” The preview was followed by a cocktail reception in Axline Court and dining in the open-air Art Park.
The Gala @MCASD is a reimagining of the museum’s long-standing annual fundraiser, “Monte Carlo,” and will usher in the venue’s new special exhibit each fall.
