Join us on Friday, November 7, in the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden as we celebrate LOVE in the Garden Presented by Frischhertz.

This year marks an exciting relaunch for LOVE in the Garden since the last event in 2023. We are thrilled that Frischhertz is LOVE’s presenting sponsor as we transition this event to a cooler time of year–Friday, November 7th–and plan an expanded celebration.

Funds raised during LOVE in the Garden provide critical support to NOMA’s exhibitions, programs, and educational initiatives all year round.
