2024 Museum Ball: nearly $2 million raised

On Saturday, October 26, nearly $2 million was raised to help secure the institution’s future and fund its top priorities. The honorary co-chairs of this highly anticipated event were Deborah K. Orida, President and CEO of PSP Investments, and Abe Adham, Chair, Quebec Market, TD Bank Financial Group.

1,000 guests gathered for the 64th edition of the Museum Ball, immersing themselves in a captivating Baroque-style setting inspired by the major exhibition Saints, Sinners, Lovers and Fools. The sumptuous and spectacular banquet rooms featured nearly thirty works from the MMFA’s collection by artists such as Kent Monkman, Janet Werner, Pierre Dorion, François Lacasse and Guillaume Simoneau, who joined in the evening’s festivities. Chef and author Laurent Dagenais created a gourmet menu especially for the occasion.

The MMFA Ball is a fundraising event that’s vital to maintaining the activities of the Museum, a non-profit organization that relies on self-financing to fund nearly 50% of its annual operating budget. As such, the support of the community is crucial to the fulfillment of its mission. The next edition of the Museum Ball will be held on November 8, 2025.
