A2AC GALA: FRAMING OUR FUTURE
On May 18th, attendees will head to downtown Ann Arbor for a night to remember. Guests will start at the fully renovated and expanded A2AC for a Cocktail Reception, ribbon cutting, and tours. President & CEO Marie Klopf will then lead everyone to the beautiful Zingerman’s Greyline for a sumptuous dinner, live art creation by Noah Kaplan, tantalizing tunes from Erik Nordin of The Strange.
Marie will share the vision for the future, leading off the opportunity for participants to support the A2AC through an energetic live auction, packed with creative art experiences. And the paddle raises, or the “Art for Everyone” item is the most significant auction lot, raising the largest portion of funds.
