Just confirmed! We’ll be cohosting the Asian Art Museum Afterparty Gala once again this year, one of our Fav & best events of the year!
Last year's event had 500+ members & friends from our communities, over 700 people overall, featuring world-renowned Japanese artist Murakami live in person in addition to the debut of his fantastic art exhibit.
This year's theme is ‘Hallyu’ - all about Korean pop culture & how it's influence has spread globally. We'll have some Kpop Dj’s, open bar, Korean bites, art, fashion and more! (Museum/Exhibit open for viewing during the afterparty, rumor has it that there will be some Kpop/Kdrama/movie celebs in the house too!)
Black Tie requested. Love how many ladies & gents dress up so impeccably well for this!
Proceeds from this sensational event support the Asian Art Museum’s mission to celebrate, preserve, and promote Asian and Asian American art and cultures for local and global audiences.
