15th Annual Toast to the Arts reservation deadline coming up
|
The Society for Arts & Humanities 15th annual Toast to the Arts will be held Friday, February 3, 2006, at the Evansville Museum of Art, History, and Science. A piece from the student art show serves as inspiration for the theme each year. The 2006 theme, “Pitcher Perfect,” is based on a salt-fired stoneware pitcher by sophomore Nicholas Mason of Poseyville. His pitcher, “Twenty Hours,” was purchased by the Society for Arts & Humanities to be auctioned at the event. The winning theme was submitted by junior Heather Rooks of Evansville. Nyle Musgrave, a junior from Fairfield, Illinois, designed the winning invitation. Tickets for the black-tie preferred event are $125, of which $50 is a tax-deductible charitable gift. The evening will include cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and live music, followed by dinner and wine, and silent and live auctions. At auction will be paintings, sculptures, ceramic pieces, jewelry, antiques, dinners, and special events. USI art faculty and alumni will donate some of the artwork. Proceeds benefit College of Liberal Arts student development and scholarships, New Harmony Theatre, and the RopeWalk Writers Retreat. The 2006 honorary chairs are Bruce and Carol Baker and John and Gail Dunn. The reservation deadline is 4:30 p.m. Friday, January 27. For more information, call the College of Liberal Arts at 812/464-1735. |
