The College of DuPage Foundation, in support of the McAninch Arts Center (MAC) and the Cleve Carney Museum of Art (CCMA), hosts their “For the Love of Warhol: A Night at Studio 54” gala, at Esplanade Lakes, 3500 Lacey Road, Downers Grove, Ill. 6-10 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 18.
This Studio 54-inspired evening will celebrate the culture of Andy Warhol’s work and social scene. It will begin with a cocktail reception at 6 p.m. followed by dinner at 7 p.m.
A special highlight of the event: the authentic and spectacular CHER tribute artist Lisa McClowry will perform as Cher bringing attendees back to the days of disco. A tempting silent and live auction for travel, golf, dining and one-of-a-kind experiences and an open bar will also make this an evening to remember.
Event Chair is College of DuPage Foundation Board of Director member Marcie Peterson, who will be assisted by a committee of 10 community volunteers drawn from Glen Ellyn, Lisle, Naperville, Wheaton and Winfield. Event sponsors include TM Financial Forensics, LLC and Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. Whiskey Acres partners to provide a Studio 54-inspired bourbon libation.
This benefit gala is in support and celebration of the “Warhol: Featuring Andy Warhol Portfolios: A Life in Pop / Works from the Bank of America” (June 3 - Sept. 10, 2023) presented by Bank of America and hosted by the MAC and CCMA.
Tickets for the gala are $350 and are on sale now. A portion of the ticket price is a donation to the Major Exhibition Fund of the College of DuPage Foundation and will be dedicated to presenting Summer 2023 of “Warhol” exhibition as well as future exhibitions. Cocktail attire is suggested. Event and table sponsorships are available. For tickets or more information visit foundation.cod.edu/Warhol-gala, email [email protected] or call 630.942.3088.
