Beginning with a Dom Perignon champagne toast, the Chef's Table portion of the Art of the Party took place in the open-air east terrace. Guests sat at tables of 10 for a four-course meal from chef Thomas Troisgros, along with a 90-minute serenade by vocalist Nicole Henry. Some table hosts received a limited-edition print by artist Beatriz Milhazes, who has an exhibition at the museum.

The Supper Club, set up on the museum's second floor by the exhibition galleries, welcomed a few hundred guests who enjoyed food stations, an open bar, and Brazilian-themed entertainment. Private butler service was also available to attendees interested in a more V.I.P. experience.
