The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago hosted its tenth iteration of ArtEdge. Coinciding with the opening of Gary Simmons: Public Enemy, the evening started with a cocktail reception on the museum’s terrace. At the innovative standing dinner that followed, guests were invited to stop at various food stations representing Chicago’s diverse culinary scene. The celebratory evening closed with an eventful concert by the legendary Chaka Khan. HMR Designs and Frost Chicago transformed the museum into a vibrant, floral, summery venue. The museum welcomed more than 400 guests and raised $1.7 million. mcachicago.org
