Art of Pride’s Inaugural Fundraiser Event to Support LGBTQ+ Artists of San Diego.

OUT AT THE MUSEUM (

10.16.2026 | 7:00 P.M.

Art of Pride, a program of San Diego Pride, is pleased to announce Out at the Museum — an evening where queer art, culture, and community take center stage. Out at the Museum is a brand-new Art of Pride experience that brings our community together inside one of San Diego’s most iconic cultural spaces: the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. Inaugural Theme: “Be the Muse” Dress Code: Inspire or Be Inspired – Art of Pride invites you to be the MUSE.

For one night, we pay tribute to the generations of queer icons and muses who refused to disappear — who stood boldly in the light, inspired the greatest works of their time, and handed that legacy of visibility down to us. Join local artists, advocates, and the broader LGBTQ+ community for an evening filled with live music, extraordinary performances, and a silent auction — all set against the backdrop of one of San Diego’s most celebrated cultural institutions.
