Join us on September 17 for an evening celebrating the incredible talent of our Museum community. Enjoy exclusive after-hours access to Dog Days of Summer , along with the artists, refreshments, and the exciting announcement of this year’s Best in Show and Reserve Best in Show winners. Dog Days of Summer showcases artwork created by the Museum’s talented Members, selected by a distinguished jury from submissions across the country. From July 16 through September 27, 2026 , visitors have the unique opportunity to cast their vote for their favorite work—making this the Museum’s only exhibition where you help decide who takes home Best in Show . A celebratory bar featuring wine, beer, and a signature cocktail will be available throughout the evening. Suggested donations benefit the Museum and help make future exhibitions and programs possible. Come raise a glass with the artists, celebrate our creative community, and be there as the winners are crowned.
