DECEMBER
AT THE GARDNER


In December, we love being your host as you celebrate the finer things in life: beautiful gardens, immersive art experiences, and the pleasure of enjoying the company of your friends. For us, this season is about giving back and looking ahead as much as it is about reflecting on the good cheer and many wonderful things that have happened over the course of the year. 

This year, we launched a new concert series, Thursdays LIVE, focused on bringing more musicians of color to Calderwood Hall; we announced a new Strategic Plan initiative, dedicated to making the Gardner Museum even more of a cultural home for our local communities; and we welcomed more than 300,000 visitors into our beautiful galleries. This is all thanks in large part to you: your visits here and your incredible show of support on social media. Thank you!

We are looking forward to seeing more and more of you next year, as we continue to expand our programming and deepen our commitment to the people who matter—our visitors. Show your support this year by making a gift before the end of the year to the Gardner's Annual Fund.
