Summer Gala and Exhibition Premiere of Roz Chast: Cartoon Memoirs
Saturday, June 6, 2015
Inspired by the one and only comic genius Roz Chast, this year’s Summer Gala includes only the best of everything, served on a platter of piping hot irony, with a glass of aged, dry wit. …a perfect accompaniment to the opening of Roz Chast: Cartoon Memoirs.
The Gala is also a celebration of Anne Morgan, Thomas L. Pulling, and Mark Selkowitz–three Museum leaders whose vision and dedication have guided the Museum into the digital age, strengthening its impact in the Community while broadening its reach across the Globe.
