On April 25th our favorite museum, the SF Museum of Modern Art, held their gorgeous biennial event The Modern Ball. The gala was chaired by Nancy Hellman Bechtle and Charlotte Mailliard Shultz and designed by the famous Stanlee Gatti.

From the Gala Dinner to the Supper Club to the Post-Modern Party, The Modern Ball was a flurry of color and brilliance. There was a spectrum of visual and taste experiences throughout the evening that we will never forget. It was such a treat to attend the Post-Modern Party especially. We enjoyed looking at all the chic gowns and suits of the guests as well as listening to Grammy-nominated electro pop group Little Dragon.

The Modern Ball Committee and Event Committee put on a truly wonderful night. Event proceeds will go to SFMOMA’s exhibitions and education programs, which serve more than 60,000 students, teachers, and families each year.
