“The Magical Treehouse” Gala

This year, The New Children’s Museum’s fundraising gala is themed “The Magical Treehouse,” inspired by the classic children’s book series and the imaginative power of art and literacy.

The museum is known for its playful fundraising events that transform the iconic Rob Quigley-designed building into a vibrant, club-like atmosphere, while showcasing the museum’s immersive art installations and playscapes. This year, gala guests will have the opportunity to explore the multi-level gallery spaces while immersing themselves in a magical storybook journey, including visits with a Lucky Dragon, a Giving Tree, and A Sidewalk That Never Ends. Gala proceeds will directly benefit high-impact programs like free field trips for Title I schools, county-wide community partnerships, free summer access for military families, and new social emotional learning and art curricula for elementary schools, allowing the museum’s impact to reach beyond its physical walls. The evening will feature music, food, entertainment, art installations, a live auction, and more. Costumes, while optional, are a longtime hallmark of The New Children’s Museum galas.
