The Women’s Board of the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago invites you to attend the Vernissage Brunch, a lavish benefit on the opening day of EXPO CHICAGO, taking place on Thursday, April 9, 2026, at Navy Pier’s Festival Hall. Vernissage supporters receive first access to EXPO CHICAGO beginning at 11:30 am on opening day—before the art fair opens to the public. Guests enjoy a luxurious brunch alongside curators, artists, and fellow art enthusiasts, while being among the first to experience Chicago’s most distinctive art fair. Tickets include access to EXPO CHICAGO for the entirety of the fair, beginning Thursday, April 9, through Sunday, April 12, at any time during General Admission hours. Proceeds from this event raise significant funds in support of the MCA’s Learning programs, which offer compelling opportunities for Chicago youth to explore, discuss, and reflect on the MCA’s exhibitions and programs, as well as the world of contemporary art and culture.
