JOIN THE WAITLIST — GUESTS WILL BE CONFIRMED AS SPACE ALLOWS
You will see the inaugural exhibition two and a half weeks before the public does.
The Family Office Mastermind Group (FOMG) invites you to a private evening inside a leading international gallery’s first home in Northern California, in a restored century-old post office building in the heart of downtown Palo Alto. It is among the most significant galleries to arrive in the Bay Area in years, and it opens to the public on October 3.
Who will be there
FOMG is a private, peer-verified community for family offices and the Domain Experts they trust.
The evening brings together collectors, advisors, and FOMG families for conversation about how exceptional spaces are designed, valued, and lived in. It is co-hosted by four people who work on both sides of that question.
