Claremont Museum of Art Gala at Home

Description

This year’s Claremont Museum of Art Gala on Sunday, October 4 will be a virtual event featuring a video program, boxed dinners from Spaggi’s for pick up at the Depot and an art auction featuring a wide variety of enticing items for art lovers.

Everyone is invited to watch the premiere of CMA’s “Gala at Home” program at 7:00 pm on October 4 on the Claremont Museum of Art YouTube channel.  Go to www.claremontmuseum.org to access the video link, reserve a box dinner or visit the online auction.

The video program will include a virtual tour through the new exhibition, “Inside Out: Emerging from Isolation”, featuring recent work by 28 area artists; a showcase of Project ARTstART, the museum’s arts education program for emerging student artists; and an insider’s look at the newly seismically-retrofitted rooms, with schematics envisioning the finished galleries and new community room. The pandemic has not stopped CMA from moving forward with exciting plans for Phase 2.

The auction will include artworks by Fr. Bill Moore SS.CC, James Strombotne, James Fuller and Rebecca Hamm as well as alluring destinations and more. Bidding starts at 7:30 pm on October 4 and continues through October 11.

The gala celebrates the important role art plays in all of our lives and CMA’s commitment to promoting the arts in our local community.
