About the 2024 Hirshhorn Ball

This year’s Ball honors the opening of “OSGEMEOS: Endless Story,” the first US museum survey and largest museum exhibition to celebrate the limitless imaginations of Brazilian artists Gustavo and Otavio Pandolfo. Known worldwide as OSGEMEOS—Portuguese for “the twins”—the twin brothers will be joined by their friends and collaborators including artists KAWS and José Parlá on the Hirshhorn’s Plaza. And you’re invited too!

Guests are invited to channel the imaginative spirit of OSGEMEOS and their collaborators. Dress up for this unique evening of performances, music, and dancing and you might win a prize!

Partygoers walk the red carpet in their creative getups for sharp-eyed fashion judges who’ll select the winning looks. Creative cocktails and light bites will be served. Following activations and the costume contest, OSGEMEOS will take the wheels and DJ a set under the stars.

VIP ticket holders are invited to start their evening with an exclusive viewing of “OSGEMEOS: Endless Story” between 5-6:30 PM before it opens to the public on Sunday, Sept. 29. VIPs, Benefactors, Ball Vice Chairs and Chairs also access the Ball’s Lounge.
