PMA’s most vibrant party of the year
Tickets on sale now!
This year’s Bash is inspired by the beauty and power of movement and liminal spaces—those fleeting moments between stillness and motion. little house dance will draw guests into worlds of movement ritual and duration, DJ Ben Spalding spins vinyl providing an ever-changing sonic backdrop, while guests enjoy food and drinks from our generous collaborators. The evening draws subtle inspiration from the tonal palette, light, and temporal sensitivity found in the photographic work of Ming Smith currently on view, shaping a night of visual improvisation and shared celebration.
Post Bash, head to Hunt & Alpine, for the after-party. Late-night drinks, revelry, and a lively continuation of the evening. 75 Market St, Portland
