The Museum of Art and Light hosted its inaugural gala Saturday night for business leaders and members of the community, which served as the opening showcase for Manhattan’s new state-of-the-art space.

Museum executive director Erin Dragotto said her mission was to combine 21st-century technology with the visual and performing arts.

“We used the fine art of the founding collection to capture the attention of the 21st-century audience member and also embrace digital art,” Dragotto said. “Because we also wanted to be creating, not only housing and preserving art, but also creating with artists as well.”
