Toast to deCordova’s 75th Anniversary at the Party for the Sculpture Park. Step back in time to October 4, 1950, when deCordova opened its doors. The museum’s innovative emphasis on modern art, specifically from living New England artists, fueled its rapid rise in popularity during the 1950s and 1960s. deCordova introduced audiences to important trends in the contemporary art world such as Pop Art and Boston’s post-war expressionist movement.
Join us in celebrating deCordova’s past, present, and future as we gather for an extraordinary evening in the museum’s distinctive art-filled landscape. This event raises crucial support to help deCordova continue fostering meaningful connections between art, nature, and community.
