PMA’s Biggest Art Party of the Season
The annual Winter Bash celebrates the warmth of artistic expression
The Portland Museum of Art’s annual Winter Bash is a delightful celebration where the chill of winter meets the warmth of artistic expression. Inspired by the museum’s As We Are exhibition featuring 14 emerging artists from the state (open through April 27), this year’s blue and green theme was a nod to Maine’s nautical charm. DJ Selena Rox kept the party going while attendees enjoyed Glidden Point oysters, Byers and Sons desserts, Camp Pennant cocktails, and bites from Black Tie Catering and Events and Great Wave Sushi. Artist Nico DePamphilis conducted tarot readings and Sea Studio provided a photo booth full of on-theme accessories.

“Director’s Circle and Contemporaries members help shape Portland’s Arts District, bringing fresh ideas and vital support to the PMA that enables new acquisitions for our permanent collection and helps attract world-class exhibitions. Every year, our members’ impact shines at the Winter Bash and Summer Party— where art, philanthropy, and community come together.”
