5:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Saturday, April 14

Enjoy an Alaska chic evening at the Anchorage Museum Gala from 5:30 to 11:30 p.m. Saturday, April 14 at the Dena’ina Civic and Convention Center. The fundraiser includes an elegant dinner, live rockabilly swing music by Detour, dancing to a DJ, and live and silent art auctions.

More than 80 Alaska artists are creating new work specifically for the gala auctions. Featured artists include Sonya Kelliher-Combs of Anchorage and Kesler Woodward of Fairbanks. Other auction items include trips, hotel stays and gift certificates.

The evening’s theme is True North, in honor of the museum’s summer exhibition of the same name. Dress is black tie with an Alaska twist: It’s the perfect excuse to leave the high heels in the closet and wear bunny boots with your evening gown.

The museum’s annual gala is the nonprofit organization’s largest fundraising event, supporting the museum’s educational programs, public events, exhibitions and more.

Tickets are $150 and available at (907) 929-9226 and anchoragemuseum.org
