It’s about trying to revive our community, its artists and our museum. Like so many other museums, residences and businesses around here, we suffered some damage from the storm.

We want to encourage younger art fans, 21 and up, to come out for a night of dancing and for a chance to appreciate some great art.

It’s going to be a really good time. A chance to put on your party clothes, have some wine, listen to some great music, eat some great food and enjoy some beautiful art.

We’ve scaled back the gala. We were very hesitant at first to host it this year, but thought it would be best to press on, keep our heads up and keep moving forward.
