About the Event
The Women’s Board of the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago invites you to attend Vernissage, the opening night benefit of EXPO CHICAGO at Festival Hall, Navy Pier. The MCA is proud to participate in the 11th year of the exposition, which presents artwork from more than 170 leading galleries from around the world.
Proceeds from Vernissage raise significant funds in support of the MCA’s learning department’s mission, whose programs offer compelling opportunities to explore, challenge, discuss, and reflect on the MCA’s exhibitions and programs, as well as the world of contemporary art and culture.
Vernissage tickets will be available for purchase online until 12pm on Thursday, April 11th, after which point tickets can be purchased at the MCA ticket desk located just inside the East entrance of Navy Pier.
