The New Children’s Museum’s hosted their annual fundraising gala, inspired by the classic children’s book series The Magical Treehouse which unlocked portals to different lands and eras. Guests, including Neil Senturia, Monica Shapiro, Pamela Fish, Shelby Abramson, Steph Jensen, Michael Greenspan, Caitlin Bergin, Adam Breslow, Adrian Dollarhide, Leana Abelsohn, and Yinka Freeman, stepped into a realm where culinary wonders pirouetted across their palate and quenched their thirst with elixirs that sparkled like stars. Many dressed as their favorite literary or storybook characters. Proceeds from the gala support access programs to ensure all children can experience art and play, regardless of their circumstances.
