The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art – Create The Night…Masterpiece!

Members of the Committee of 100 (C100) met on September 24th at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art to start planning the annual gala, Create The Night…Masterpiece!, which will take place on February 20th at the Museum. The black-tie affair will highlight the opening of the Museum’s exhibit, Reflecting Class in the Age of Rembrandt and Vermeer. Partygoers will enjoy cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and a delicious sit-down dinner by Lon Lane’s Inspired Occasions. Entertainment will be provided by Quixotic, which will perform a specially choreographed piece to celebrate these luminous 17th century Dutch paintings. Joan and Alan Marsh and Neil Karbank are the honorary co-chairmen, and Carol Logan, Peggy Lyons and Mary Reintjes are serving as co-chairmen.
