Story" by a special mystery guest.

Proceeds will benefit the International Contemporary Art Foundation and 21c Museum
in its goal to continue bringing different forms of artistic expression to the public.
Special room rates at 21c Museum Hotel will be available for Pajama Party guests.
Artist Donor Tables
For the first time, 21c is offering donors an opportunity to purchase a table hosted
by a contemporary artist. Upon purchasing a table, donors will receive an original
piece of artwork and be able to have dinner with its creator. The following are
the artists who have so generously donated their work for our fundraiser:
Background
The International Contemporary Art Foundation is a non-profit, collecting institution
that funds and operates the 21c Museum within the 21c Hotel. The Foundation relies
on the Annual Pajama Party as its main source of fundraising for the entire year.
Proceeds from the party benefit the Museum's general operating fund and allow 21c
to continue to share its collection and programs free of charge with the community
and beyond.
Since our 2006 Grand Opening, 21c has hosted more than 90,000 visitors and presented
ten different exhibitions, including both regional and internationally known artists.
21c has become synonymous with the place to enjoy a well–rounded cultural experience.
In addition to a rotating exhibition program, 21c has sponsored many Kentucky artists,
including Dan Dutton in his largest exhibition to date. We also provided a venue
for a standing room only debut performance by Empujón, Louisville‘s own off-season
contemporary dance company.
Recent visitors may have noticed that the 21c Museum Foundation changed its name
to the International Contemporary Art Foundation in hopes to better solidify its
presence as a non-profit entity. This has been a change in name only; as all operating
procedures remain the same, we hope to continue to offer the public with contemporary
fine art that is approachable, without pretense, and enjoyable by all audiences.
With your continued support, we will continue to provide an exciting program of
special events and dynamic exhibitions free and open to the public.
