As a part of MOPOP 25: A Quarter Century of Culture, the Icons of Pop Culture Gala returns on October 23, 2025, to recognize MOPOP’s work and the creators who shape the worlds of Film, Fashion, Gaming, and Music. For 25 years, MOPOP has been a platform for bold voices and untold stories. We celebrate these icons and raise essential funding for the museum during this festive evening.

Join us at the gala, performance, or participate in our online auction to support MOPOP’s mission. Your contributions power our exhibitions, youth education programs, and community initiatives that continue to inspire the next generation.
