Annual Gala
The Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art has hosted an annual gala since 1982. Festivities include wine, hors d'oeuvres, and dinner, both a live and a silent auction, and musical entertainment. The theme changes from year to year. Formal dress is optional. The gala is organized by members of the MGMoA Volunteer Society. It is made possible by generous community and individual sponsorships.
All of the proceeds from the gala support the MGMoA’s education programs, including scholarship funds for field trips and classes. Over 10,000 students benefit from the MGMoA’s education programming each year.
