In an unforgettable rapprochement of art, elegance and generosity, the Parish Museum in Arts welcomed more than 720 respectable guests on Saturday, July 19 for its expected annual use: 2025 Midzomer party, echoes under the title of the universe. Under the star of the stars, the evening, the evening raised approximately $ 1.4 million to support the museum exhibitions, educational initiatives and comprehensive programming-with a large milestone for the cultural angle of the East End.
All over the sprawling stands in the museum, meadows and architectural interiors, Gala provided an intimate and bright experience. From the designated cocktails to the assembly and performance cars, all the details reflect the museum’s task to integrate creativity, society and art on a global level.
Honoring cultural incentives
The evening program honored five visions who embody the artistic influence and charitable excellence.
CEO Monica Ramirez Montagut has known artists Sanford Peters, Raphael Lausano-Himmar and Nina Yankwitz for their contributions to the borders in contemporary art, each of which has practices that extend to drawing, sculpture, video, sound, and overwhelming compositions. “We celebrate the artistic vision and the bold innovation in Sanford, Nina and Raphael, and each of them still inspires our society through their extraordinary work,” said Ramirez Montagut.
The sponsors have also been honored Sandy and Stephen Berlnander, who played a fundamental role in the development of Parish over decades of leadership and giving. “Sandy and Stephen Jawhar are embodied in the arts of art: a deep participant, an endless curious, and does not shake their support,” said Ramirez Montagut. “It is a deep privilege to honor their legacy.”

The letter offered: Hedley Studios collaboration
The guests who reached the cocktail watch were received by the amazing outdoor installation of the Hedley Studios a House of Modern Automotive Artistry and one of the sponsors in the evening.
The founder Ben Hidley Hamas participated in the studio: “What a honor for Hidley studios in the Parish Museum and provides an entertainment of classic cars in the presence of these prominent artists and this very generous society … It is a source of inspiration for our work, and bringing the heritage letter to a new generation.”
Cars, driving artworks, were shown on the museum’s promoter, and chanted the subject of the event of timeless elegance and bold design.
Eat food, dance and discrimination
The guests were handled on a wonderful sunset dinner on the Mildred C. Brinn terrace, followed by the dance ceremony after the bottle, where the DJ Infelt kept the Lichtenstein theater alive with energy late at night. Throughout the evening, the famous Persons Dance performed the site, as it presented a contemporary point for the elegant atmosphere in the evening.
The distinctive cocktails and taste were provided by Casa Dragones Tequila, who returned as a present sponsor alongside the Northern Trust and Hedley studios.
