The 47th annual Pot of Gold Arts Gala and Auction is coming up at the Albrecht Kemper Museum of Art in St. Joseph.
Executive Director Eric Fuson says the annual event is one of the museum's biggest fundraisers, held inside the museum.
"We'll have a pretty elegant dinner," Fuson tells KFEQ News. "And the whole them around it is going to be kind of espionage, so you think about that James Bond kind of suave side mixed in with a little bit of Austin Powers for fun, so we'll have a little bit of something for everybody, it really is a beautiful night."
Fuson says the gala is a time when the St. Joseph community really steps up
"Whether it's a sponsorship from a local business to sponsor the event on its own or whether it's an item, and even artists may donate a piece that we auction off," Fuson explains. "We take all kinds of things to have a really well-rounded auction."
Fuson says it's not too late to help sponsor the gala or purchase tickets for the evening
"We will welcome you with open arms with any time that you'd like to, just let us know if you've got an idea of something you'd like to do," Fuson says. "Whether it's a cash donation or if you want to come to the evening, we have lots of different levels, if you want to sponsor a table for your business and have a table of eight and you and all your friends come, we can do that as well."
The event is being held on April 26th. Tickets can be purchased by visiting the Albrecht Kemper's website.
