Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego

MCASD’s annual fundraiser – Monte Carlo – has been reimagined into The Gala @ MCASD, which will celebrate our special exhibition each fall. This year's event takes inspiration from the pivotal Alexis Smith exhibition, the first retrospective of the California artist in thirty years, which reflects a theme that MCASD and the artist share: transformation. Join us for an elegant dinner under the stars or for a cocktail in the “Hello, Hollywood” Lounge at The After Party @ MCASD.

Your generous support is vital to our continued success and allows us to make an impact within the Museum walls and in the broader community. All proceeds from the event benefit MCASD’s dynamic exhibition schedule and education programs that foster conversations and connect visitors to contemporary art.
