MoCA\CT’s Endless Summer Event Celebrates Art and Community
The Museum of Contemporary Art Connecticut transformed its galleries into a coastal paradise for their Endless Summer celebration, where 150 guests enjoyed the beach-party energy at this fundraiser and friend-raiser event co-chaired by Rita Marcocci and MoCA\CT Board Member Keara Williams.

The Arthur Lipner Trio set a beachy soundtrack, as Tod Papageorge’s stunning beach photography created an unexpectedly perfect summer send-off, and a warm-up for MoCA\CT’s upcoming April gala.

Attendees reconnecting over conversation and summer drinks
The night captured that easy, summer feeling in spontaneous moments, as conversations flowed as freely as the light, coastal bites from Country House Cuisine, hand-crafted cocktails, and beer and wine from sponsors Parolvini US, Athletic Brewing Company, and Captain Zig Brewing. Sponsors Saatva and MDSolarSciences contributed to beach-themed gift bags. Design Within Reach, William and Jodi Felton, and Honda of Westport were additional sponsors.
