Affectionately referred to as “POP GALA” or “Boston’s Most Elegant Pride Event” 

The Portraits of Pride Ball of is a charity event and fundraiser to support the mission and programs of the Boston LGBTQ+ Museum of Art, History & Culture. 

This charitable extravaganza is not just a ball, but a call to action in support towards our mission and programs. Welcoming LGBTQ+ leaders, creatives, advocates, elected officials, and business magnates alongside our vibrant community, the night promises an unforgettable blend of inspiration and entertainment.

The ball serves as the launching event of the Boston LGBTQ+ Museum and the opening ceremony of the Portraits of Pride exhibition 2024, as well as a celebration of queer artistry.

Save the date for a night that not only celebrates LGBTQ+ culture but also champions inclusivity, resilience, and the power of unity.
