Thank you to those of you who recently attended Manetti Shrem Museum’s Winter 2026 Gala on January 24!
It was a truly memorable evening as we reflected on the night’s theme, From California to the World.
The museum honored longtime university and museum volunteers and donors Carol and Gerry Parker, whose generosity is funding the museum’s landmark digitization initiative and related exhibition, Backstory: Digitizing the Museum Collection, as well as the Robert Arneson Archive, which holds the most complete records of Arneson’s studio practice and extends his legacy to students and researchers through his family’s stewardship.
By supporting this event, your contributions directly fund our educational programs and exhibitions, ensuring that the museum remains Free for All!
To relive highlights from the evening, we invite you to view Red Curtain Addict’s event video, capturing the energy and atmosphere of the gala.
Interested in joining us for the next gala? Save the Date! We will celebrate our 10th Anniversary with a special gala on November 14, 2026.
