The Phillips Collection 100th Birthday Party

It’s The Phillips Collection’s 100th birthday!

On November 12, 1921, the Phillips Memorial Art Gallery, commemorating founder Duncan Phillips’s father and brother, opened as one room and a collection of 237 paintings. Now, 100 years later, the museum has expanded to include the Goh Annex and Sant Building, Center for Art and Knowledge, and Phillips@THEARC, and the growing collection features nearly 6,000 works of art from all around the world. We can’t wait to see what’s in store for our next 100 years!

Join us for a birthday bash including:

• access to our incredible fall exhibitions featuring David Driskell, Alma W. Thomas, Sanford Biggers, and Daniel Canogar
• art activities and games
• a giant birthday card for visitors to sign
