The pARTy: The Show Must Go On!

The pARTy: The Show Must Go On!

Saturday, March 26, 2022

This spring, Phoenix Art Museum celebrates the return of its beloved gala following an unprecedented hiatus. Upon entry into The pARTy: The Show Must Go On!, guests will be transported into an event unlike any other, inspired by the surreal and captivating works of Philip C. Curtis, one of Arizona’s most beloved artists and founder of the Phoenix Federal Art Center, an early iteration of Phoenix Art Museum.

The evening begins with an immersive cocktail hour in Dorrance Sculpture Garden. Guests also will enjoy works from the Museum’s extensive collection of Philip C. Curtis paintings, installed in the Gail and Stephen Rineberg Gallery for one night only. Additional highlights of this highly anticipated event will include a DJ, unique performances by contortionists and surreal-costumed characters, custom cocktails, and an exquisite dinner by Creations in Cuisine.

All net proceeds from The pARTy benefit exhibitions, education programming, and essential general operating support at Phoenix Art Museum.

A limited number of individual tickets are available for purchase at $1,250 per person

Sponsorship and table-hosting opportunities available now. Contact special.events@phxart.org or 602.307.2082 for more information.
