Modern Contemporaries members (The Modern’s Under-Forty Friends!) are invited to join Chief Curator Andrea Karnes for a special look at the Museum’s newest exhibition, Women Painting Women, which she organized. Enjoy a relaxed evening of cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and a private, after-hours tour of the show. Members will have the rare opportunity to ask Andrea questions in an informal setting to learn more about the significance of this body of work and how she developed the exhibition.

This event is the culmination of the FOCUS exhibition season, where members of the Director’s Council vote on a new acquisition for the Modern’s permanent collection. Members will have met and heard from three FOCUS artists and seen their work over the course of the season. A benefit of Director’s Council membership is the privilege of voting on this annual acquisition. 

After Party graciously hosted by Angela and Anthony Wonderly
