What better way to experience how far we’ve come over the years than relaxing on a yacht? Well, we got as close to the real thing as possible at this year’s annual gala event, Come Sail Away at the Museum and Cultural Center at 5ive Points.
This year, The Museum and Cultural Center at 5ive Points took the community back in time with a Yacht Rock-themed dinner party. Attendees had the opportunity to enjoy a great meal, listen to awesome music, and mingle with the rest of the community. Music was provided by Monsters of Yacht, who put on an incredible show. In addition, the Museum was able to show off a few upcoming exhibits including the Howard Finster exhibit entitled Finster’s Sacred Art.
As always, the annual Gala also featured an auction, which included once in a lifetime items for those who attended. Auction items included a Viking Cruise which featured an 8-day European River Voyage for any two people, a Golden Doodle puppy, and 6 other unique experiences. Over $100,000 was raised from the live auction, which will benefit educational, cultural, and arts programming at the Museum.
This year’s gala was a huge success with over 200 community members attending. This event, along with all of their others throughout the year, goes to benefit all that the museum does. Their educational and cultural programs including summer camps reach 1,000 kids annually and go a long way toward encouraging the children of the community to get excited about history and culture, while also enriching the community as a whole.
The Museum and Cultural Center at 5ive Points has a lot more events coming in 2023. To learn more about the Museum and what they do, check out its website at www.museumcenter.org/museum-events/.
