You won’t want to miss the Gala of the Year at RiverArts’ newly renovated gallery located at 315 High Street, Suite 106, on Friday, September 14 from 7:00 to 10:00. Tickets can now be purchased online with PayPal at https://chestertownriverarts.org as well as at the new RiverArts Gallery.
Guests can expect to be greeted and served by a live American Gothic painting or one of Picasso’s ladies, and bartenders will be dressed as famous art characters. The RiverArts GALA will also include live music, dancing, bountiful appetizers, wine and a spectacular silent auction.
From 7 – 8:30, local musicians, Phil Dutton on the keyboard and Mike Buccino on the bass, will provide the musical entertainment. These gentlemen love music and their singing and playing are contagious.
