SUMMARY:National Museum of Women in the Arts Spring Gala
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat\nNational Museum of Women in the Arts’ 2025 Spring Gala\nOn Friday\, April 11\, 2025\, the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) hosts its annual black-tie gala. Join gala co-chairs Ashley Davis\, Susan Dunlevy and Alethia Jackson and NMWA patrons for a special night at the museum’s largest annual fundraising event\, which supports NMWA’s special exhibitions and diverse education and public programming initiatives. \nThe event features a seated dinner\, award ceremony and entertainment. Luminaries from Washington’s diplomatic\, governmental and social communities are expected to attend. Guests are also invited to preview the new special exhibition Guerrilla Girls: Making Trouble\, organized on the occasion of the Guerrilla Girls’ 40th anniversary as a showcase of prints and objects from throughout their body of work\, and enjoy Uncanny\, a special exhibition of haunting and visionary art by modern and contemporary artists. \nThis year’s gala will honor Bisa Butler\, an interdisciplinary artist known for her psychologically nuanced portraits composed of vibrantly colored fabrics\, and the Guerrilla Girls\, the indefatigable activist-artist collective and self-described “conscience of the art world.” \nThrough her celebratory quilted works\, Bisa Butler investigates the purposes and potential of portraiture within the Black historical narrative. Drawing on influences ranging from personal family scrapbooks to American folk traditions\, she invites viewers to invest in the lives of her subjects\, while simultaneously expanding art-historical narratives about American quilt-making. \nSince they burst into the art world in 1985 with provocative text- and graphic-based prints denouncing discrimination\, the Guerrilla Girls became a global force for change. To protect their identities\, the group’s anonymous members adopt as pseudonyms the names of historical women artists\, such as Alma Thomas and Käthe Kollwitz\, and wear gorilla masks during public appearances. Many of the topics that the Guerrilla Girls addressed in the 1980s and ’90s—reproductive rights\, the environment and gender equity in the arts\, to name a few—are still pressing today. \nWhen\nFriday\, April 11\, 2025\nCocktails: 6:30 p.m.\nDinner and Entertainment: 7:30 p.m. \nWhere\nNational Museum of Women in the Arts\n1250 New York Avenue\, NW\nWashington\, DC 20005  \nTickets\nSponsors at these levels will receive special VIP opportunities\, as well as public recognition in print and online:\nDiamond Patron $100\,000\nGold Patron $50\,000\nPearl Patron $25\,000\nSilver Patron $15\,000\nCrystal Patron $5\,000\nIndividual tickets are $2\,000 per person.
