You are invited to experience this one-of-a-kind event. A Match Made in Heaven brings together artist Katherine Bernhardt and fashion designer Jeremy Scott, both known for their creative work that engages with themes of consumer and popular culture and irreverent humor.

This gala will transport participants into a vibrant world of pop culture through food, fashion, and art. This event starts at the Nerman Museum, and event sponsors and VIP guests can also attend an off-site after-party. Proceeds support Nerman Museum operations and art education activities, and JCCC Historical Fashion Collection preservation.

A Match Made in Heaven: Katherine Bernhardt x Jeremy Scott will be on view in the Nerman Museum’s Kansas Focus, Oppenheimer, Thompson and Anonymous Galleries, First Floor, February 7 through August 3, 2025.
