THE PARTY becomes THE OPENING 2025

Woodmere is thrilled to host our annual celebration at a time when it can also commemorate the private opening of Frances M. Maguire Hall for Art & Education. Marking the most significant expansion since its founding in 1910, Woodmere's second location is an ambitious transformation of a 19th-century residence into a dynamic, 20th-century museum. Opening to the public on November 1, the expansion adds 14 new galleries, a children’s art and education studio, and new public spaces for events and programs—encompassing 17,000 square feet of interior space and four additional acres of preserved greenspace. Without help from generosity like yours, this incredible project would not have been possible.

This year’s celebration will honor José Almiñana, Matthew Baird, Jeff Krieger, and Jane Sullivan​.

Join the Celebration!
Be part of the festive unveiling and get an exclusive first look at Maguire Hall before it opens to the public.
