Join us for a special luncheon fundraiser featuring Emmy Award-nominated production designer and San Antonio native, Matthew Flood Ferguson, who will share his artistic process of how an idea is brought to life on the screen. He will also speak of his passion for the McNay and his ties to Robert L.B. Tobin.
Attendees can expect a seated lunch and dessert, as well as a champagne reception preceding the event during check-in. This exclusive event offers a unique opportunity to hear Matthew share his longtime collaboration with acclaimed director Ryan Murphy. His work on Netflix’s Hollywood earned him nominations from the Emmys, Art Directors Guild, and Set Decorators Society of America.
All proceeds from the luncheon will benefit the McNay Art Museum and support its mission to engage a diverse audience in the discovery and enjoyment of the visual arts. Your participation through sponsorship, underwriting, and ticket purchases directly supports our education, exhibition, and conservation programs.
