Our Opening Night Gala is one of the most anticipated and glamorous events of the social calendar, featuring exceptional art and antiques in a breathtaking setting on the San Francisco Bay with fabulous people, sumptuous buffets, legendary caviar and lamb chops, full bars, lively music and so much more!

The 2026 Show will celebrate Métallique Chic. Think gold leaf, silver filigree, copper patina, platinum polish, pearlescent pewter and time-worn bronze. Art, antiques, design, and jewelry each take their turn at the podium: Rococo gilding, Brutalist metalwork, Art Deco chrome, Georgian silverware, iridescent colors, burnished surfaces… The result is a sparkling dialogue in which every precious metal carries a story, and every object – whether centuries old or freshly minted – celebrates craftsmanship, history, and scintillating reflection. It’s time to shine!
