THANK YOU FOR MAKING O WHAT A NIGHT! GALA 2022 TRULY REMARKABLE! WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!

Ogden Museum of Southern Art, dedicated to broadening the knowledge, understanding, interpretation and appreciation of the visual arts and culture of the American South, will hold its annual O What a Night! Gala honoring iconic local artist George Dunbar on October 15, 2022, with a Patron Party and auction preview on October 13 at the home of Walton and Jeffrey Goldring. Co-Chairs Penny Francis and Jason Waguespack invite you to join them at the O What a Night! Gala, which sells out every year and plays host to affluent and influential patrons from New Orleans and across the country. This evening is not only an experiential celebration of the very best in Southern art, music and food, but is also the Museum’s top fundraising event. Your contribution to the O What a Night! Gala 2022 will provide critical funds for our award-winning educational programs and our dynamic exhibitions of Southern painting, photography, sculpture and much more.

What makes this event so special? The people and the art! People from all over the country will be able to bid on works of art in the silent auction, presented by Neal Auction Company, and live auction. We are excited to bring back Nicholas Lowry of Swann Auction Galleries as this year’s live auction auctioneer. Year after year, art collectors look forward to viewing all of the beautiful works of art created by artists of the South.

Name recognition as of October 11, 2022.
