About the Event

Join us for the Art Auction, Chicago’s premier event benefitting the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. The event features cocktails and a preview of the art, followed by a seated dinner and live auction.

In 1968, the MCA’s first Art Auction was founded by a group of trustees to raise funds for the museum. Continuing this legacy, we are grateful to MCA Art Auction Cochairs Anita Blanchard, Ilan Shalit, and I. Joyce Yaung.

For more information about this event, please contact Morgan Turner, Fundraising Events Assistant, at [email protected] or 312-397-3862.
