On
Saturday, June 14, the Museum Council of
the Museum of Fine Arts Boston (MFA)––a vibrant
group of young professionals—hosted the fifth annual SUMMER
PARTY, a dazzling evening at the MFA featuring luscious
cocktails, hearty hors d’oeuvres, dessert, music by popular
D.J. Deja, dancing, and a silent auction including works by local
artists. The
spirit of this year’s event was a Latin American Feria de Arte,
inspired by pieces from the MFA’s collection and the new Art
of the Americas Wing, one of the exciting transformations to come
from the current campaign: Building the New MFA.
The MFA’s Museum Council––one
of Boston’s oldest young professionals groups affiliated
with a Museum––is made up of philanthropic professionals,
aged 21-45, with the mission of bringing together art enthusiasts
from diverse professions and backgrounds, in support of the Museum
of Fine Arts. Museum Council members are offered unique avenues
to further their understanding and enjoyment of the Museum. In
addition to receiving all benefits of Museum membership, Museum
Council members enjoy preferential viewing privileges for major
exhibitions and are invited to exclusive events designed to bring
them closer to the Museum, its collections and staff.
All proceeds from this event support the Museum Council’s
gift to the campaign: Building the New MFA
