Missoula’s Party of the Year Returns for MAM’s 50th Anniversary!
Missoula's party of the year returns for MAM's 50th Anniversary! The silent and live auctions provide MAM with critical funds to continue to share contemporary art with Missoula and beyond. We can't wait to celebrate with you! The Big Sky Mudflaps, also celebrating their 50th anniversary, will join us in the celebration!
Things You Should Know
Dress code: This is Missoula's event of the year! We invite you to treat this as some treat the Met Gala; that means costumes, themes, creativity! MAM staff will be dressed to the nines in black and gold!
The University Center bar no longer takes cash. If you would like to donate to the Hellgate Art Club's annual fundraiser, please bring cash for their Pass-the-Hat!
There will be no basketball game the night of the auction. That means easy parking for you!
