Seeing the Forest for the Trees



Laumeier Sculpture Park Big Dinner September 17, 2022

The Aaronson Fine Arts Building proudly showcases a selection of artists celebrating the environment of trees. Gallery visitor traffic observe a range of works from figurative to conceptual. It is an ideal starting point as supporters check in for our fundraising diner. Laumeier Sculpture Park is a remarkable gem in our region. More than 275 citizens enthusiastically gather to support of the mission that merges art and nature.


 

The catering crew from Ces and Judy's have prepared each plate as if a work of art. The staff at Laumeier attend to a million details. The evening is mapped out to showcase the bucolic setting adjacent to the neon art of David Hutson, Big Deer by Tony Tasset, Ginnever's Crete, Alexander Liberman's The Way and dozens of other world-class pieces of monumental heroic contemporaty art in a very public place. We find ourselves dining at tables positioned in the heart of the midway that earlier this year attracted over 17,000 visitors to the juried show and Art Fair on Mother's Day weekend in May. 

The moveable feast guides guests from check in and gallery viewing to cocktails, diner, coffee/desert and the music by the Screechin' Halts on a stage in front of the estate house. The evening was lovely and the weather behaved as if Sumer would last forever. The fun included auction items and pledge opportunities that crushed the goal of $135,000.00 before the valet parking crew started the orderly end of a beautiful evening. Needless to say: A good time was had by all. Congratulations to Executive Director Lauren Ross and the staff at Laumeier Sculpture Park.
