Each year, the ArtEvents Council of The Friends of The Mennello Museum of American Art hosts an elegant gala to raise funds for The Mennello Museum. Funds raised from the Gala directly supports exhibitions, education programs, publications and helps the museum achieve its mission to serve our community, support artists and advance American art and ideas across Central Florida and beyond.
Step back in time to the elegant 1920s at An Evening with Fabulous Friends Gala on Saturday, March 3, 2018, at The Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort. The Friends of the Mennello Museum of American Art, together with Executive Director Shannon Fitzgerald, invite you to join us for an evening celebrating 20 years of the Mennello Museum and the passion of its founders, Michael and Marilyn Mennello.
