Join us at Lyman Allyn’s Annual Gala on Saturday, June 1!
This year’s spring gala will celebrate the initial phase of our Lyman Allyn Park project and the exciting changes to come. Guests will enjoy cocktails and music with online and in-person auctions, and a seated dinner under twinkling lights on the Museum lawn with a view of the initial transformations.
We’re proud to do groundbreaking work every day to bring the power of art to our community and beyond. The funds raised from the evening’s celebrations will go directly to museum operations and educational programs.
Please consider supporting the Lyman Allyn in person and/or by bidding on our exciting online auction. Even if you are unable to attend in person, the online auction of one-of-a-kind treasures and experiences is available to all regardless of party attendance! Scroll down for online auction details.
