Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla reopened in April after a four-year renovation. Recently, the Museum hosted The Gala @ MCASD, a fundraising benefit at the expanded La Jolla campus and co-chaired by Board Members Marcos Ramírez ERRE and Dagmar Smek. The Gala @ MCASD celebrated the special exhibition which takes inspiration from the pivotal Alexis Smith exhibition, the first retrospective of the California artist in over thirty years. The guests were a very glamorous bunch with stylish and luxurious outfits fit for the first gala at this world-class museum.
