Sueños de Dalí 2024

event chairs: Tom & Nicki Diana and Ryan & Marianne Griffin

Join us for Sueños de Dalí, the year’s most unforgettable soirée, where our iconic building and gardens morph into a world of whimsical delight and reality blurs with imagination.

This event is moving forward, and we hope to provide a surreal opportunity to connect with our community. Guests can dance the night away while enjoying themed open bars, delectable bites, enchanting entertainment and more—all while supporting the Museum’s vital mission as a premier nonprofit cultural and educational organization.

While themed attire is recommended, all are welcome. We invite you to step into a dreamlike world with this year’s theme, “A Surrealist Awakening.” In celebration of 100 years of Surrealism, we encourage guests to let their inner Surrealist be the guide. Give an ode to past artists—from Salvador Dalí to René Magritte—tap into those embracing the movement today, such as Lady Gaga or the Elsa Schiaparelli fashion house, or accent your look with key surreal symbols, including melting clocks, eyes, ants, lobsters and more.

Admission includes access to the Museum’s galleries, including our special exhibition, Reimagining Nature: Dalí’s Floral Fantasies, hors d’oeuvres, an open bar, live entertainment and more.

This event is 21+ only.
