Boulay Wealth Sponsors Paris Couture at Minneapolis Institute of Art

(Minneapolis, Minnesota) – Boulay Wealth is pleased to announce its sponsorship of “Paris Couture”, a major haute couture exhibition on view at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) through Jan. 17, 2027.

The sponsorship reflects the firm’s commitment to the Twin Cities community and its support of local cultural institutions and the arts.

More than 80 haute couture garments from the Palais Galliera, the Paris Fashion Museum, are on display in the United States for the first time at Mia’s Target Galleries. The exhibition features designs by renowned fashion houses and designers, including Christian Dior and Elsa Schiaparelli, that span the late 19^th century through present day.

Conceived by the Palais Galliera in collaboration with Mia and the Saint Louis Art Museum, “Paris Couture” is making its first stop in Minneapolis before traveling to St. Louis in January. It gives visitors a rare chance to see these pieces in the Midwest, since many are seldom shown outside France.

“Couture is slow, careful work,” said Jay Brown, CFP^®, President and CEO of Boulay Wealth. “Some of the pieces you’ll see were made more than a century ago, and they’ve lasted because someone took the time to build them well and then protect them. That’s how we think about wealth. Building something takes talent. Making it last … takes patience, planning and close attention to the details.”

Brown also emphasized the firm’s local roots. “We’re also proud to support Mia and the arts here in the Twin Cities,” he said. “Boulay has been part of this community since 1934. We’re independent, and we’re owned by people who live and work here.”

To celebrate the sponsorship, Boulay Wealth recently hosted “An Evening in Paris”, a private after-hours experience at Mia on Oct. 30 for clients and friends of the firm.

“Paris Couture” is open to the public through Jan. 17, 2027. General admission is $20, and visitors 17 and younger are admitted free. More information is available at artsmia.org.
