Director's Circle Members: Prospect 2025 Selection Dinner
Join us for an evening of art, dining, and excitement as we announce the new acquisitions for MCASD's permanent collection, made possible by your generous support.
For four decades, MCASD's Director's Circle has helped shape the Museum's identity through their contributions toward the purchase of art for the permanent collection.
Prospect 2025 highlights five artists whose works are being considered for acquisition. For its 40th anniversary, the exhibition presents five beguiling artworks that are characterized by a state we might describe as "both/and." Whether wall-bound or seen in the round, these hybrid objects comingle categories and genres that are usually seen as separate, including art, fashion, craft, design, botany, and technology, among others.
From June 11 through November 2, the proposed artworks are on view in the Copley and Main West galleries, where all Museum visitors can view the art side-by-side with MCASD's collection. This year's nominated artists are Hugh Hayden (United States, b. 1983), Daniela Gomez Paz (Colombia, b. 1992), Ryan Preciado (United States, b. 1989), Sarah Rosalena (United States, b. 1982), and Bárbara Sánchez-Kane (Mexico, b. 1987).
