2025 Friends of the Art Museum Purchase Party

Saturday, November 8, 2025 | 5:00–7:30 PM ET
Kirk Alumni Center
 

Tickets now available!

Join the Friends of the Art Museum as we consider our next gift to the Museum’s collection. Jerry Philogene, Chair of Black Studies, will present three works of art for possible purchase, and the members of the Friends will vote to determine which work gets added to the collection. The evening will also feature a buffet dinner and card bar (debit/credit cards only, cash not accepted – each event ticket will include one free drink).

If you’re not currently a member of the Friends, be sure to activate or renew your membership to guarantee you’ll be able to vote.
