Soiree is an event founded in celebration of the creativity innate in each of us, embedded in our community. It is a time to come together in connection and nourish the spark of curiosity that fuels new pathways forward. Proceeds of Soiree go toward exhibitions and programs that fulfill KANEKO's mission to explore and encourage creativity.
