2025 Theme Timeless The Evolution of Style: PAST. PRESENT. FUTURE

About the Baltimore Met Gala

Since its debut in 2022, the Baltimore MET Gala has emerged as the region’s ultimate fusion of art, philanthropy, culinary mastery, and fashion innovation—a dynamic celebration of culture, creativity, and luxury. Developed and produced by the Curators of Culture, LaRian Finney (The Finn Group) and Derrick Chase (Chase Executive Holdings), this annual activation unites an elite circle of tastemakers, innovators, and thought leaders.

Each year, guests embark on an unforgettable journey featuring a chef-curated culinary experience, beautifully transformed spaces, and immersive artistic showcases. Set against a backdrop of carefully curated thematic sounds and scenes, the evening culminates in a captivating runway spectacle by Lana Rae, Earle Bannister, and Jody Davis Designs. The artistic narrative is masterfully shaped by internationally renowned visionaries Ernest Shaw and Ainsley Burrows, while the culinary installation is orchestrated by Azikiwe DeVeaux, creator of the Black-Owned Restaurant Tour (BORT).

With every edition, the Baltimore MET Gala redefines artistic expression through bold, thought-provoking themes that spark dialogue and set new creative benchmarks.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 13—an evening designed to immerse you in a Baltimore MET Gala experience like no other, where artistry meets innovation and every moment leaves an indelible mark.
