The beautiful home of Sue and Lewis Nerman was the setting for the Patrons’ Party for the Kansas City Art Institute’s Art and Design Auction. Guests enjoyed an artful buffet by Lon Lane’s Inspired Occasions. Vicky and Akio Takamori, ceramic artist and KCAI alumnus; were the featured guests. Kathy and Mark Donovan and Mary and Richard Wetzel are serving as the co-chairmen of the Art and Design Auction, which will take place this evening.
