Dinner in the Galleries

This past fall the Museum added a new item to our annual fundraising auction, dinner in the galleries. We auctioned off eight seats for a catered five course dinner held in the lower level gallery. This was an idea one of our boardmembers had and it proved to be a success. But the best part? Nick catered it. That’s right, an evening in the gallery surrounded by Nick’s art, eating Nick’s food, and after dinner talking to Nick about the pieces in the show.
