Miami, FL – February 1, 2025 – PAMM hosted its 12th annual Art + Soul party, drawing over 350 artists, philanthropists, and supporters to raise more than $1.4 million for the PAMM Fund for Black Art.
The vital fund supports the acquisition and exhibition of contemporary art by Black artists, with the latest addition being “lil e-man” (2024) by Lauren Halsey.
The evening honored Thelma Golden, director and chief curator of the Studio Museum in Harlem, for her transformative impact on American art. Guests enjoyed live performances, curated dining, and exclusive access to PAMM’s current exhibitions.
Proceeds from the event will continue to support the growth of PAMM’s collection, celebrating Black excellence in the arts.
