deCordova’s annual fundraising gala returns this spring, celebrating the change of season, bright opportunities, and new artwork.

As The Trustees embarks on a new strategic plan, the organization deepens its commitment to protecting the special places of Massachusetts for everyone, forever. At deCordova, this important work means evolving and enhancing a welcoming space for inspiration and education through contemporary art.

Along with honorary chairs Erica and Bob Mason, we look forward to celebrating new beginnings at deCordova with you. We’ll enjoy cocktails, dinner, and dancing amidst the unique art-filled landscape as we raise crucial operating support for the sculpture park and museum.
