The Academy Art Museum welcomed 250 guests to its recent Spring Event, raising $130,000 to benefit the Museum’s educational and outreach programs. The theme of the event, “The Art of Color,” was inspired by the Museum’s exhibitions, “Parts and Labor: A Survey Exhibition of Print and Collage Works By Steven Ford” and “FABRICation.”
