Ogden Museum of Southern Art’s annual O What a Night! Gala is the Museum’s largest fundraiser, taking place every October. This black-tie affair provides critical funds for the Museum’s award-winning educational programs, community events and dynamic exhibitions of Southern painting, photography, sculpture and much more.
The O What a Night! Gala sells out every year and plays host to affluent and influential patrons from New Orleans and across the country. Guests enjoy a celebratory evening showcasing the very best in Southern art, music, food and entertainment. Featuring both a silent and live auction, guests will have the opportunity to bring home amazing works of art and contribute to Ogden Museum’s mission to broaden the knowledge, understanding, interpretation and appreciation of the visual arts and culture of the American South. Year after year, art collectors look forward to viewing all of the beautiful works of art created by artists of the South.
