Share

Patrons of the Prado celebrated 25 years of impact, with a focus on the future, and continued efforts to ensure that the largest urban cultural center and park in the USA remains enjoyable by all. This year’s theme “Under the Desert Sun” offered a nod to the glamorous desert nightlife of 1960s Palm Springs, complete with swanky cocktails and miniature golf course. This signature event is more than a great party, it is the cornerstone of the Patrons of the Prado mission to make a tangible impact on the 10 Museum Beneficiaries.
