Everything Is Going to Be Alright: 11th Annual MOCAD Gala + Art Auction

The Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit is thrilled to be celebrating its 11th Annual Gala + Art Auction in Midtown Detroit. MOCAD is the creative nucleus of the City, working to bring new ideas to a varied public by embracing all methods of learning, teaching, and all around creative thinking. We work to connect artists from around the world to our City of makers and innovators.

This spectacular gala features handcrafted cocktails, a seated dinner paired with lively entertainment, and rare one-of-a-kind art auction items. The auction will be curated by MOCAD’s Susanne Feld Hilberry Senior Curator at Large Jens Hoffmann and MOCAD’s Executive Director, Elysia Borowy-Reeder. The auction, held in partnership with Paddle8, will be live on September 7.
