Sunday, July 13, 2025, starting at 4:00 pm.

It has been just over two years since MCASB reopened the museum and has already made major strides in the reimagining of the institution (and produced 20 exhibitions). MCASB is building a museum of the future that is accountable to the communities we serve, our arts workers, and most importantly the artists that are at the heart of everything at MCASB. Join us in raising critical funds to support MCASB for our community!
