McKissick Museum will hold its 11th-annual gala from 7:30 to 10 p.m. April 1.
“A Fool for Art” will feature entertainment, heavy hors d'oeuvres, specialty libations, and the opportunity to purchase artwork from some of the area's notable talents. The artwork offered for sale will be on display for the entire week leading up to the gala—March 28 to April 3—and will be available for purchase on the evening of the gala.
For the fund-raising event, a select group of local, regional, and national artists have shared their artwork for an exhibition and sale. A portion of the proceeds will go to the McKissick Endowment. Last year, the Museum was able to publish its first collections catalog with proceeds raised by past fundraisers undertaken by McKissick and the Museum's Advisory Council. In previous years, the endowment supported the acquisition of a number of objects for the permanent collection.
Tickets to attend “A Fool for Art” are $45 per person or $80 per couple.
For more information, or to purchase tickets, call Karen Swager at 7-3708.
