2018 Family Gala: Express Yourself!

Saturday, Dec 1, 2018 | 5:30–8:30pm

ADMISSION: For information please contact Rachel Breuer at rbreuer@thecjm.org or call 415.655.7843

The Family Gala is a more than just a party—it’s a time for kids, parents, grandparents, and friends to come together to celebrate. Proceeds from the Family Gala enable The CJM to provide accessible family programming and arts education for over 20,000 families throughout the year.

Inspired by the exhibitions Veiled Meanings: Fashioning Jewish Dress, from the Collection of The Israel Museum, Jerusalem and Lew the Jew and His Circle: Origins of American Tattoo, this year’s theme encouraged you to Express Yourself! From clothing and textiles from around the world to tattoos from New York’s Lower East Side, both exhibitions highlight adornment, fashion statements, and cultural expression.

Guests were invited to express themselves through imaginative art-making, interactive games, extraordinary entertainment, and of course, dancing!

Thank you for joining us for an unforgettable evening in suppor of The CJM!
