Ringling Museum Announces the Return of the UnGala

Arts & Culture

The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art has announced the return of a much-loved signature event in UnGala 2019 - The Evolution. The event will be held in the Museum of Art Courtyard on October 19, 2019. The return of the iconic affair after a 10-year hiatus celebrates the 35th anniversary of the first UnGala in 1986, as an alternative to formal events and was designed to attract a younger crowd. Over the years, UnGala raised funds that The Ringling utilized to restore the Ca’d’Zan, enlarge the collection and increase educational efforts and public outreach.

Partygoers may register on The Ringling’s website to receive an invitation to the UnGala. Invitations will be mailed in early August and online ticket sales will begin shortly thereafter. Sponsorship packages are also available.
