SUMMARY:Crandemonium Gala and Art After Dark 2026
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Sarah Blanchette \nJoin us for Cranbrook Academy of Art and Cranbrook Art Museum’s signature fall fundraiser — an unforgettable evening set on Cranbrook’s historic campus that brings together influential leaders across art\, design\, business\, and philanthropy. \nThis year’s event is inspired by the highly anticipated exhibition The World of Anna Sui at Cranbrook Art Museum and will feature legendary fashion designer Anna Sui as the evening’s Guest of Honor. A fashion icon with roots in metro Detroit\, Anna Sui revolutionized fashion in the 1990s with her rock-and-roll romantic aesthetic and continues to influence generations of artists and designers through her imaginative\, genre-defying work. The World of Anna Sui exhibition at Cranbrook Art Museum will showcase more than 100 looks spanning her celebrated career and explore the recurring themes and inspirations that have shaped her singular visual universe. \nThe evening will begin with a pre-glow experience for upper-level sponsors\, followed by a cocktail reception throughout Cranbrook Art Museum’s galleries for all gala guests. Guests will then enjoy a seated dinner and program before transitioning into Art After Dark — a high-energy\, late-night celebration featuring music\, craft cocktails\, desserts\, and artistic experiences where attendees meet and mingle with Academy of Art students. \nArt After Dark tickets can be purchased separately. \nSee more details about Crandemonium. \nPurchase Tickets and Sponsorship \nThank you to our Crandemonium 2026 Committee Members! \nGreg Bartelt\nJJ Curis\nGretchen Davidson\nKatie Dwan\nJennifer Gilbert\nSamra (Johnson) Furlong\nEdward A.
