The Spring Event will be held on Saturday, May 6 from 5 – 8:30 pm at the Academy Art Museum. View the Museum’s new exhibitions In Praise of Shadows: Jun’ichiro Tanizaki and Modern & Contemporary Art and LaToya Hobbs: Woodcuts, while enjoying cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Then experience an immersive performance artwork by Baltimore-based artist Hoesy Corona, in conjunction with the current installation in the Museum’s Atrium, Terrestrial Caravan. The evening’s festivities will continue with live music, dinner, drinks and dessert in the celebratory tent. Proceeds from the event provide vital funding for the Museum’s exhibitions and educational programming.
AAM Director Sarah Jesse notes, “The Spring Event is one of our most important fundraising events of the year and vital to enabling our free programs and exhibitions. This year is particularly special—we’re celebrating the 65th anniversary of the Academy and the incredible impact of the museum in our community over decades. The Spring Event supports a great cause, plus it’s a very fun and exciting evening.”
