Prepare for an unforgettable evening at one of San Francisco’s most anticipated celebrations of art and artists! SFMOMA invites you to join us at our signature fundraising event that transforms our iconic museum into an immersive playground of creativity and community.

This year’s celebration is especially meaningful as SFMOMA marks the tenth anniversary of its building expansion — a decade of bold ideas, groundbreaking exhibitions, and artistic innovation.

Bold Art. Big Impact.

Art Bash raises over $2.5 million annually to fuel SFMOMA’s mission of making art accessible to all. Every ticket purchase helps fund the museum’s much-loved education and family programs and community engagement events benefiting over 150,000 people every year.

Engage your company’s brand with our audiences through custom Art Bash sponsorships. Contact the Partnership Team at partnerships@sfmoma.org.
