We knew something exciting was happening when we got a behind the scenes peek at a photoshoot of festive attire in the galleries at Worcester Art Museum. With less than a month away, we are excited to see what promises to be the social event in Worcester.
On Saturday, June 14, 2014 guests are invited to join the Worcester Art Museum for a special Renaissance-themed evening in celebration of the museum’s opening of Knights!, its first exhibition of material drawn from the Higgins Armory collection .The gala and auction will bring together the region’s taste-makers, art enthusiasts, and business leaders for an elegant night of cocktails, dinner in the Museum’s Stoddard Garden Court, live and silent auctions, period entertainment, and a dance party featuring live music by the band Legit.
Guests will have the opportunity to bid on a diverse array of art, experiences, and goods with all proceeds supporting WAM and the institution’s continued growth. Early bidding begins on June 4th on biddingforgood.org. Attendees are also encouraged to support Worcester’s local businesses in the fashion industry (Dana Lane Photography, Erb Photography, James Hogan, Karon Shea Model Management, Neal Rosenblum Goldsmiths, Perfect Focus Eyecare, Tu Moda Spa, WAM Gift Shop), which have drawn inspiration from Knights! to create “The Look” an array of Renaissance looks specially designed for the evening.
The event is sponsored in part by: Peoples’ United Bank, Interstate Specialty Products, Skinner Auctioneers and Appraisers of Objects of Value, Sweet, Fletcher Tilton and Washington Mills.
