More than 350 art lovers and collectors, business and community leaders, and area residents enjoyed hors d’oeuvres and cocktails in the Katonah Museum of Art’s sculpture garden, followed by a four-course dinner and dancing, at the KMA’s annual spring benefit. A very lively “paddle raise” raised close to $100,000 in less than 10 minutes, and guests danced the night away during the After Party at a Silent Disco in the Sculpture Garden. The event celebrated achievements – past and future – on the 25th anniversary of the Museum’s iconic Edward Larrabee Barnes building.
The Museum honored Katonah resident and two-time Emmy award-winning documentary producer and founder of Makers, Dyllan McGee. McGee, who was introduced at the event by Martha Stewart, has been a friend and supporter of the Museum for years. Even her children have taken an interest in the museum, and are involved in many art education programs.
