Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art – 20th Anniversary Gala

Karen and Jack Holland are the honorary chairmen, and Mary Kemper Wolf, Scott Heidmann and Christy Gautreaux are serving as the co-chairmen of the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art’s 20th Anniversary Gala on October 11th at the Museum. “ROAR” is the theme of the Roaring Twenties event, where burlesque girls, bootleggers and gangsters will feel right at home in a special speakeasy. Musical numbers, dance performances and tableaus will set the atmosphere for a raucous good time. Partygoers can cut a rug and enjoy copious fare from Café Sebastienne. Lina and Dan Dickinson will host a Patrons’ Party on September 18th at their beautiful home.
