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. Sponsorship supports Nerman Museum operations and art education activities, and the preservation and presentation of the JCCC Historical Fashion Collection.

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, and the Barton P. Cohen and Mary D. Cohen Gallery, Second Floor, February 7 through August 3, 2025.

Gala Committee Members: Mark Allen, Lorece Chanelle, Scott Heidmann, Kyle Holt, Ken Petti, Lori Spoozak, Jamila Weaver
