On Saturday, May 10, 2025, the Bruce Museum celebrated the 2025 Bruce Gala: Embrace the Magic, an evening to support the Museum’s mission for the benefit of the community. Honorary Chair, Candia Fisher, along with Gala Co-Chairs, Nina Bliley, Tracy Holton, Judy Stein, and Natalie Stein inspired guests with a magical night of cocktails, art and science experiences, dinner, and dancing at the After Glow party. Led by Dr. Mary-Kate O’Hare, the new Susan E. Lynch Executive Director and CEO, the Bruce promotes wonder and discovery through art and science. Proceeds from the event support the Museum’s exhibitions, school programs, and community outreach, with the goal to spark creativity, inspire future scientists and artists, and make art and science accessible for all.
