Thank you for going ALL THE WAY to make the BAMPFA Gala a smashing success!

What an extraordinary outpouring of friendship and generosity our Bay Area creative community brought to BAMPFA’s 2019 gala! The Julia Morgan Ballroom was aglow with the warmth and vitality of everyone who joined together—whether in person or in spirit—to honor the vision of Deborah and Andy Rappaport, support the mission of BAMPFA, and ensure that artists and filmmakers continue to thrive in the Bay Area. Thank you!

We’ve put together a few photos from the evening in the slideshow below.
