The DelArt Gala Harvest Dinner
Celebrate the season at our Harvest Dinner Gala, an extraordinary evening of community, connection, and seasonal charm.
Join us for a magical evening of seasonal elegance and celebration while supporting the Museum’s mission through one of its most important fundraising events of the year.
The evening begins with a private viewing of Transcendent: Landscapes of the Hudson River School, whose breathtaking landscapes served as the inspiration for our Harvest dining experience.
Guests will then gather at communal tables for a thoughtfully curated multi-course dinner. The evening concludes with decadent desserts during a cozy outdoor after-party, offering a heated tent space and an opportunity to connect in the Copeland Sculpture Garden, where art, ambiance, and autumn’s beauty create the perfect setting for continued celebration.
A signature event of the fall social season, DelArt’s Harvest Dinner Gala is a not-to-be-missed evening of elegance, connection, and purpose.
Proceeds from the Gala will directly support Museum’s exhibitions, education programs, and community initiatives.
