67th Annual Spring Fundraiser a Big Hit!

I want to take a moment to say thank you to all of the sponsors and supporters who helped make the RISD Museum Associates’ Spring Fundraiser such a fun evening to benefit the RISD Museum. Over $80,000 was raised to support exhibitions, conservation, and programming for learners of all ages. We hope those of you who were able to attend found Katy Hessel’s presentation as thought-provoking as we did! I’m thrilled to share that in addition to press coverage just last week in Vogue, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, CBS, PBS, and more, The Story of Art Without Men landed on the New York Times bestseller list and is on back order at Amazon and Barnes and Noble! So, if you got a book at our event, it was one of the last ones currently available!

We hope all of you will come back to visit the RISD Museum soon and consider joining as a member. With so many exhibitions, events, and programs, there is something for everyone!

Thank you again for your generosity.

With gratitude,
