For a century, the Phillips Collection has been harnessing the power of art and innovation to create joyful and empathetic experiences in Washington, D.C., and beyond. The Centennial Gala is the crowning event of the year. It is an opportunity to share their bold vision for the next century and thank donors and corporate and community leaders for their continued support.
