The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art – Dot to Dot
April 6th was the date for Dot to Dot, a new signature benefit for The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Guests enjoyed dinner by Lon Lane’s Inspired Occasions and entertainment by MoonDrop Circus, jugglers, acrobats, stilt-walkers, and strolling musicians. Trapp & Company created the fabulous decorations and a special video highlighted the dot motif throughout the Museum. The later party featured a buffet and dancing to the tunes of DJ Chris Taylor. The event celebrated the Museum’s 80th birthday and Marion and Henry Bloch, Estelle and Morton Sosland and Don Hall and the late Adele Hall were the honorary co-chairmen.
