Museum’s Grand Ball

Allegory: The Grand Ball

Anne Eschapasse, President and CEO of the McCord Stewart Museum, and Jean-Michel Lavoie, Chairman of the Board of the McCord Museum Foundation, are pleased to invite you to the Museum’s Grand Ball, with the distinction of Honorary Co-Chairs:

• Ms Manuela Goya, Vice President, Destination Development, Public Affairs and Industry, Tourisme Montréal
• Ms Vickie Joseph, Cofounder & CEO of V Kosmetik and outgoing President of the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal Board of Directors
• Ms Marie Ginette Lepage, Senior Vice President, Transformation, Cogeco

Allegory is the theme of this undeniably elegant benefit evening for its 2025 edition.

Symbols and dreamlike imagery intertwine with finesse through subtle anachronisms, all reflected in captivating mirror effects. Immerse yourself in the moment and discover a world of waking dreams within the refined atmosphere of the Théâtre Cartier, a meticulously restored former church.

Relive the grandeur of past balls, brilliantly highlighted in the new exhibition presented at the Museum: Costume Balls – Dressing History, 1870-1927
