Korean Festival of Letters: Hangul Day

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the opening of American Made: Paintings and Sculpture from the DeMell Jacobsen Collection, a landmark exhibition honoring the breadth and brilliance of American art across two centuries.

Through the Decades: Glowback Party!

Inspired by the decades within the American Made exhibition, Through the Decades: Glowback Party is a high-energy Opening Celebration that transforms the Museum into an immersive journey through the defining decades of American art.

Set against a vibrant neon-inspired color palette, the party blends nostalgic flair with contemporary excitement, inviting guests to experience a dazzling “glowback” as the event comes alive with the sights, sounds, and style of the eras that shaped American creativity.

Guests are invited to pick an era…make it neon…come to party!

Throughout the party, guests will travel from decade to decade, enjoying immersive entertainment, era-inspired music, interactive art experiences, and fashion moments that celebrate the changing cultural landscape of America.

Whether stepping into the elegance of the late 1800s, the glamour of the Roaring Twenties, the energy of mid-century America, or the bold creativity of the modern era, every experience is designed to celebrate the American Made exhibition while honoring the artistic movements that continue to inspire generations.
