Date & Time: Saturday, October 3rd | 6:00 PM - 11:30 PM Venue: San Francisco Ferry Building | Grand Hall
A gathering of frequencies.
Join us for the Afropolitan Ball, MoAD’s signature annual gathering celebrating the African Diaspora and its enduring influence on contemporary art and culture.
Set within the iconic San Francisco Ferry Building, The Afropolitan Ball 2026 takes its cue from Dewey Crumpler: Sonic Lineages as an expression of the Diaspora’s living power. The evening brings together artists, patrons, collectors, philanthropists, and innovators for a dynamic night of art, conversation, performance, and community in support of MoAD’s mission.
Support from the Afropolitan Ball helps sustain exhibitions that expand cultural dialogue, education programs serving thousands of students, and opportunities for emerging artists whose work is shaping the contemporary landscape. Join us for an unforgettable evening built around art, culture, and collective imagination.
