In support of The Stein's Collect: Matisse, Picasso, and the Parisian Avant-Garde, SFMOMA is honored to have received a presenting sponsorship from the Mimi and Peter Haas Fund, and lead corporate sponsorship from The Charles Schwab Corporation. We are deeply grateful for the Haas' and the Charles Schwab Corporation's unparalleled commitment to SFMOMA, which enables the museum to continue offering the highest quality exhibitions and programming.
We'd also like thank the Evelyn D. Haas Exhibition Fund and the Koret Foundation for their premier sponsorship and Martha and Bruce Atwater; Gerson and Barbara Bakar; the Helen Diller Family Foundation, a supporting foundation of the Jewish Community Endowment Fund; the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund; the Walter & Elise Haas Fund; and The Bernard Osher Foundation for their major support.
SFMOMA would like to offer its most sincere thanks for the overwhelming support of this exhibition.
SFMOMA would like to acknowledge Target for their generous support of the upcoming Yerba Buena Free Family Day, which promises to be a wonderful community event that will feature free admission and family activities at SFMOMA and our neighbors: Contemporary Jewish Museum, Museum of the African Diaspora, Zeum, and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. At SFMOMA, programming will be themed around "DRAWing Inspiration." Families will be invited to draw on their imaginations and make their mark at the museum as they sketch, scribble, and squiggle their way through the wonderful world of drawing.
Programs for families represent among the most important work undertaken by SFMOMA, and Target's partnership with the museum has enabled SFMOMA to provide highly satisfying family programs on-site and in the community. SFMOMA is honored to again merit the support of Target in 2011.
More than 450 of SFMOMA's supporters came together on April 6 to bid on 90 artworks at the museum's Art Auction 2011. The event, organized by the Modern Art Council SFMOMA's fund-raising auxiliary, raised more than $2 million in support of the museum's exhibitions and education programs, making this the most successful auction in the museum's history.
SFMOMA thanks lead sponsor Bank of America and media sponsor San Francisco magazine, as well as the Modern Art Council, led by Jill Barnett; event co-chairs Ariane Maclean Trimuschat and Annie Robinson Woods; and all the sponsors, donors, trustees, staff, and volunteers whose contributions made the auction such an overwhelming success.
