Where Wonder Takes Us: An Evening Beyond Time and Place
The gala dinner and after-party play a vital role in sustaining PEM’s vision: to serve as an engaging and welcoming gathering place where individuals feel inspired to learn and connect through experiences of wonder, joy and contemplation.
This year's gala is inspired by the spirit of boundless curiosity, cross-cultural exchange and wonder reflected in East India Marine Hall. Join us as we celebrate the journeys we take, the sparks of innovation we discover and the perspective-shifting power of looking beyond time and place.
We are delighted to announce longtime PEM supporters Tim and Joanie Ingraham as the 2026 gala honorees.
The funds raised at the PEM Gala make the museum’s mission a reality by providing essential annual support to our vital initiatives. Exhibitions, public programs, school visits, community partnerships, internships and stimulating, life-enhancing experiences of creativity – your support makes it all possible.
