'The Modern Ball' is the name of the biannual gala that's thrown by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) as its signature fundraising celebration. The event itself is focused around three central experiences: a Gala Dinner, a Supper Club and a Post-Modern Party. Proceeds from the event go towards the support of exhibitions and education programs that continue to inspire thousands of students, teachers and families each year.
In order to get people thinking about attending the event, these unique save the date invitations were sent out. The design features an actual pink and blue ball as the focal point of the piece, which was accentuated with cutout details on the simple box. For 2016, The Modern Ball that took place earlier this year was completely sold out.
