Our Next Opening Reception

Our Winter/Spring 2026 Opening Reception will be held from 5 pm to 8 pm on Friday, February 6, 2026.

To celebrate the opening of each new exhibition season, FAM hosts a preview reception that is preceded by artist, curator, collector, and/or other special guest talks in the Bonner Auditorium beginning at 5 pm. The talks are followed by a reception in the galleries where you can chat with artists (when available), collectors, curators and others. Also includes passed hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. The opening receptions are always free to Museum members and special guests. There is a $25 per person fee for members of the general public to join both the talks and the reception. Normally, the Saturday after the opening reception, the new exhibitions officially open to the public. ALL ATTENDEES, INCLUDING MEMBERS, ARE ENCOURAGED TO RESERVE ENTRY TICKETS.
