Tickets for the Oklahoma City Museum of Art’s annual Late Night fundraiser will be available starting August 1. The event, presented by VI Marketing and Branding, is scheduled for September 5 at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club. It serves as the official afterparty for the Renaissance Ball, which is OKCMOA’s largest fundraising event each year.
Late Night runs from 9:30 p.m. to midnight and includes an open bar, food, live music, and dancing. Admission is limited to guests aged 21 or older. Tickets are priced at $100 for Moderns members and $125 for non-members. Details about Moderns membership are provided on the museum’s website at https://www.okcmoa.com/moderns/.
The theme this year is inspired by artist Paul Reed’s geometric style in recognition of “Paul Reed: A Retrospective,” a new exhibition organized by OKCMOA that opens in November.
Fareshteh Hamidi and Emily Isbill have been named co-chairs of this year’s Late Night event. Both serve on the museum’s Moderns Board. Hamidi is concluding her sixth year on the board and has previously served as Events Chair and Elections Chair. She works as a business and commercial litigation attorney at Steptoe & Johnson, PLLC.
“I’ve made many special memories with my family at the Museum,” said Hamidi. “I consider myself a museum advocate and am excited to see friends I’ve recruited to OKCMOA at Late Night.”
Isbill is Membership Chair of the Moderns Board and an attorney at Crowe & Dunlevy specializing in healthcare, administrative, and cannabis law.
“From opening Edith Head: Hollywood’s Costume Designer to our now-annual Halloween happy hour, I love the way Moderns events bring people together,” Isbill said. “Late Night is the highlight of the year, and I’m honored to co-chair it.”
Late Night helps support OKCMOA’s mission through fundraising efforts tied to its exhibitions and collections. Tickets typically sell out quickly; more information can be found at https://www.okcmoa.com/latenight/.
