ABOUT THE GALA
On Saturday, May 15, 2010, at the Montclair Art Museum (MAM) will host our annual spring gala, A Force for Change: Jazz for Art’s Sake, which will bring together more than 250 artists, musicians, philanthropists, community leaders and friends of MAM for a night of music inspired by our groundbreaking new exhibition, A Force for Change: African American Art and the Julius Rosenwald Fund, which guests will have the chance to preview at the gala.

The evening will feature performances from award-winning local jazz artists, and guests will have the opportunity to bid on luxury vacation packages, exclusive experiences and artwork during both a live and silent auction.
