This year, A+D
celebrates
California’s
beach
communities,
which have for
years been a
mecca for—and
inspiration
to—artists,
craftspeople,
designers, and
architects.
Continuing the
legendary runway
presentations
for which A+D’s
annual CELEBRATE
gala has now
become known,
the 2014 event
will feature
custom
surfboards,
boogie boards,
and skateboards
created by local
and
international
architects,
designers, and
artists
expressly for
the A+D
fundraiser. 
Designers
include
returning

Karim Rashid,
Richard Meier &
Partners, Don
Chadwick (Herman
Miller’s Aeron
Chair designer), Steven

Maltzan, Ogassian

Clementi Hale
Studios, LA-Más, and West

The
“groundswell”
concept this
year is also
dedicated to the
surge of
community
support extended
to the Museum
since it landed
on Museum Row in
2010, which is
evidenced by
A+D’s momentum
in attendance,
membership and
its
ever-expanding
slate of events
and programs.
 A
premier, sun n’
surf-themed
silent auction
will also take
place during the
event. All
donated pieces
(modeled and
displayed) will
be auctioned
that evening,
with 100% of the
proceeds
benefiting the
Museum. The
festivities will
include DJ Raul
Campos of KCRW,
open bar
sponsored by
Tito’s Vodka and
Asahi Beer, and
Southern
California
cuisine, as well
as the return of
last year’s
emcee, actor
Boise Thomas,
and a special
appearance by
Madison
Hildebrand, Luxury
Realtor on Bravo
TV’s “Million
Dollar Listing
Los Angeles”.
“For every A+D
gala, we
challenge our
design leaders
to venture out
of their comfort
zone; creating a
wearable item,
their ultimate
carry-on, or
this year, a
surf-inspired
pièce de
résistance!”
states Museum
Director Tibbie
Dunbar. “We love
that top
creative
thinkers push
boundaries and
explore new
design
territories,
creating works
for A+D Museum’s
CELEBRATE gala
that reflect the
kind of
expansive
architecture and
design
exhibitions A+D
provides the
region.” 
Established in
response to the
need for a space
that would be
devoted
expressly to the
exhibition of
progressive
architecture and
design in Los
Angeles, A+D
Museum opened
its doors in
January 2001 and
continues to be
the only museum
in the country
where continuous
exhibits of
architecture and
design are on
view.
