      The PEM Gala

      For more information, contact Lauren Fairweather at lauren_fairweather@pem.org.

      The funds we raise 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.

      We invite you to play a leading role in this important endeavor. Table sponsorships, corporate partnerships and philanthropic gifts are essential to ensuring PEM’s continued growth and impact. For those unable to attend, contributions in support of PEM’s mission are deeply appreciated and critical to our ongoing work. We hope you will join us in celebrating PEM’s vision and investing in its future.

      PEM Gala 2025

      PEM is a special place where art, culture and ideas converge, inspiring visitors to explore the world with curiosity, imagination and a sense of shared humanity.

      The generosity of our gala attendees ensures PEM continues to provide educational initiatives, world-class exhibitions and a space for learning and creative expression. Our dedicated supporters make a profound difference in shaping PEM’s future.

      Our 2025 gala draws inspiration from Andrew Gn: Fashioning the World, a dazzling retrospective of fashion, art and design. Based in Paris and born in Singapore, Andrew Gn embodies the very essence of global creativity. His masterful blending of history, culture and craft mirrors PEM’s own mission to illuminate the universal threads that connect us across time and place.

      The 2025 gala also honors Susan and Appy Chandler for their exceptional service and lasting impact on PEM. Through their leadership, generosity and advocacy, Susan and Appy have strengthened the museum’s collections, exhibitions and educational programs across diverse disciplines, including fashion and design and the Art & Nature Center.
