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

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 providing a welcoming space for inspiration and education through contemporary art.

Along with honorary chairs Erica and Bob Mason, we look forward to celebrating a new year 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.
