form & focus

A celebration of art in its most essential form—and the focused, intentional care that drives our mission.

Form & Focus explores the relationship between what is shown and how we see it. In minimalist art, form becomes the content—stripped of narrative, decoration, or distraction. This year’s theme invites guests to slow down, look closely, and experience both art and impact in their most distilled, intentional state.
