The Institute of Contemporary Art, San Diego presented its ICA Bright Future Gala, when the entire six-acre Encinitas property was illuminated with lights powered by its own solar panel system. The campus was transformed with reflective portals, asking attendees to consider how the changes we make can produce a better world. The VIP experience featured a one-of-a-kind performance and hosted bar in the Artist Pavilion. Gala chair Linda Brandes invited guests to cocktails in the garden followed by a delectable dinner by chefs Jeffrey Strauss and Ron Oliver of Pamplemousse Grille and a lively auction with a shimmering after-party.
