The Academy Art Museum hosted its first ARTober Fundraising Event, which included a silent and live auction and honored the Museum’s distinguished honorary trustees – Arnold Lehman, Earl “Rusty” Powell III, Donald Saff and James Turrell. These Trustees have significantly impacted and continue to impact the national and international art scene today. Guests enjoyed a catered reception by Brasserie Brightwell of Easton and a silent and live auction, which wrapped up the Museum’s month-long ARTober event. The event raised almost $30,000 for the Museum.
