The New Children’s Museum hosted its annual fundraising gala, Circus Spectacular, at the Museum in Downtown San Diego. Guests experienced creativity and play like nowhere else as they moved through the Museum’s multi-level space, playing in immersive installations and enjoy awe-inspiring circus performances with fire breathers, aerialists, jugglers and more. Circus themed food, games and décor was everywhere, the costumes were amazing and to top it all off – a Ferris wheel? Over the top? No, just perfect! Co-chaired by Dr. Laurie Mitchell, Jennifer Luce and Dr. Ellen Moxham, all proceeds support the Museum’s access programs to ensure that all children can experience art and play, regardless of their circumstances.
