The DelArt Gala Harvest Dinner
The DelArt Gala Harvest Dinner is an elegant fundraising evening supporting the Delaware Art Museum’s exhibitions, education programs, and community initiatives. Guests will begin with a private viewing of *Transcendent: Landscapes of the Hudson River School*, an exhibition whose Hudson River landscapes inspire the evening’s harvest-themed dining experience.
The celebration continues with a curated multi-course dinner at communal tables, followed by desserts and an outdoor after-party in the Copeland Sculpture Garden. A heated tent will provide a comfortable setting for guests to enjoy art, autumn surroundings, and conversation.
