Join SFMOMA’s awe-inspiring art community at Art Bash 2023 on April 19, for their multi-phase party filling the museum with music, performances, and art activations. This year’s Art Bash honors Marilyn Minter, whose thrilling artworks explore the female body, glamour, and beauty from a feminist perspective.
This year’s party kicks off with cocktails and a dinner experience designed by artist Marilyn Minter. When the night falls, the museum will burst to life to welcome guests for immersive art encounters, including an elevated lounge experience designed by artist Woody De Othello, an installation by artist Sadie Barnette, and live musical performances by DJ Umami, Duserock, Amber Mark and Toro y Moi (DJ Set). Party with us until 1 a.m.!
To generate more excitement leading up to Art Bash, SFMOMA has commissioned local artists Jeffrey Cheung, Rewina Beshue, and Simón Malvaez to design eye-catching event posters that will be wheat-pasted around San Francisco. In addition, each of the artists will create a large-scale photo backdrop in their own style for the big event.
Your generosity makes a big impact! Art Bash funds SFMOMA’s much-loved education and family programs and community engagement events that benefit over 150,000 people every year, such as the popular First Thursdays, offering free admission for all Bay Area residents.
