VISIONARY LUNCHEON 

The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (MCA) held its annual Visionary Luncheon, celebrating leadership in the arts. Nearly 400 guests—including cultural, business, civic, and artistic leaders—were in attendance to celebrate the museum’s education initiatives, hear a dynamic conversation between Pritzker Director Madeleine Grynsztejn and artist Julie Mehretu, and recognize this year’s honorees. King Harris of the Harris Family Foundation received the 2025 Arts Philanthropy Award for decades of generous support of arts education at the MCA. The Arts Philanthropy Award also recognized Harris for his work supporting Chicago’s arts and culture institutions. The event was presented by Max Mara, and the MCA raised nearly $600,000 in support of its Learning programs, which support teachers, students, and families all over Chicago. mcachicago.org
