One of the most anticipated events of the social season, the Boca Raton Museum of Art’s Annual Gala, will take place at 7 p.m. February 5, 2011 at the Boca Raton Resort & Club.
Join chairpersons, Terry and Sheldon Adelman, for a lavish evening that will include entertainment and recognition of the Gala’s honorary chairs, Marilyn and Richard Davimos, long-time Museum supporters.
This year’s Diamond Anniversary theme commemorates the Museum’s 10th year in Mizner Park and its 60th birthday.
For the past two decades, the Museum’s Annual Gala has remained a highlight of South Florida’s social calendar. This prestigious event celebrates the Museum’s achievements over 60 years and supports the institution to perpetuate its permanent collection, stellar exhibitions and educational and family programming benefiting the cultural life of many residents and visitors to South Florida.
“The Boca Raton Museum of Art has continually strived and succeeded over the past six decades to present brilliant world-class exhibitions, at the same time serving the community with programs to educate and enrich everyone who participates,” said Terry Adelman. “My husband and I are excited to be co-chairing the Gala for this landmark anniversary celebration.”
“The overwhelming sponsorship response by the community thus far has demonstrated this institution is a priority for our community. I am anticipating a wonderfully celebratory evening reflecting the pride we have in the Boca Raton Museum of Art,” she added.
The black-tie event will begin with a cocktail reception at 7 p.m. followed by dinner, entertainment, including music and dancing and a silent auction. The silent auction will provide an opportunity for guests to bid on luxury life-style packages and unique experiences.
