Santa Barbara Museum of Art cordially invites you to the second annual GILDED GALA — an evening of timeless elegance in celebration of the Museum's commitment to art, education, and community.
6:00-11:00 PM
Rosewood Miramar Beach
Montecito, CA
Now established as the Museum's signature fundraising event, the GILDED GALA brings our community together to support essential education and engagement programs, the care and exhibition of our collections, and our mission to integrate art and life.
As the sun sets over the Pacific, guests will gather on the Chandelier Terrace for cocktails, canapés, and curated lounge music. Later, the Chandelier Ballroom will host a seated three-course dinner, a live band, and a spirited live auction and paddle raise, all in support of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art collections, programs, and important place in our community.
We look forward to sharing in a luminous night in honor of the arts in Santa Barbara, and invite you to join us at one of the following sponsorship levels.
