Arnot Art Museum

WELCOME

General Information

GALLERY GALA is a favorite biennial exhibition that celebrates artists of the Northeast region; it brings together artists, collectors and the Museum community for an exhibition and sale. Participating artists donate a significant portion of each work’s purchase price to the Museum. Designed to raise funds and friends in support of the Museum, the Gala attracts the collectors of the region, who know they’ll find the best works by the area’s outstanding artists. Beginning collectors are encouraged to participate, and works are sold at prices for all pocketbooks. Proceeds benefit Museum exhibitions, education programs & events.

Gallery Gala 2020 is on view through 28 November in the West Wing Galleries.
