Please join the Chicago Reader for our 3rd annual UnGala at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

Date:  Thursday, October 3, 2024

Time: VIP Cocktail Hour:  6:00 – 7:00 p.m.; General Admission:  7:00 – 9:00 p.m.

Location:  Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, 220 E. Chicago Avenue, Chicago, IL 60611

Description: A high-energy evening of entertainment as eclectic and diverse as the newspaper and our Reader family, supporters, and guests. The evening will feature DJ sets by Ariel Zetina and our headliner, Grammy Award-nominated DJ Terry Hunter of The Chosen Few DJs. We’re also excited to welcome magician Deshawn Mason of Second City and comedian Kendra Jamaica!

Attire: From business casual to Met Gala-fab, our only ask is that you add a little Reader Yellow or gold into your look. Whether it’s a monochromatic yellow storm, or just a small pop of gold, make it your own!
