Miami, FL – November 9, 2024 – A  look at this year’s 11th annual Pérez Art Museum Miami Art of the Party gala, honoring philanthropist Kenneth C. Griffin, founder of Citadel, for his exceptional commitment to the arts and announcing a generous $10 million gift from Griffin to bolster the museum’s collection and educational initiatives.

Griffin’s substantial gift is aimed to enhance PAMM’s mission as a cultural hub, while the newly named Kenneth C. Griffin Gallery will showcase the museum’s acclaimed permanent collection. The gala also celebrated Colombian artist Delcy Morelos, who was awarded the prestigious Pérez Prize for her 30-year artistic journey exploring humanity’s bond with the earth.

The evening raised over $1.7 million to support PAMM’s arts education programs, culminating with an electrifying afterparty featuring a live DJ set by artist José Parlá, whose new exhibition opens later this month.
