After a two-year hiatus, the San Diego Museum of Art’s annual gala returned in full splendor with Art Alive. The three-day fundraising event kicked off with Bloom Bash, an extravagant fete complete with thematic cocktails, Ferris wheels in the promenade, and trademark floral interpretations of SDMA’s permanent collection. The evening’s showstopper? It was all about Organized Chaos, a striking pyramid-shaped installation in the rotunda by San Diego botanical designer Britton Neubacher. Outside, revelers danced, dined, and schmoozed in the sculpture garden. On a Studio 54–inspired dance floor, roller skaters performed amid a who’s-who of philanthropists and Mayor Todd Gloria.
