A Luminous Future Gala - The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum

A Luminous Future Gala October 18, 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm

The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum’s annual Gala has been one of the pillars of our programing and a major success in our efforts to raise vital funds needed to continue serving and inspiring youth and adults in our communities.

Your support this year will be crucial in ensuring the success of this event, which will be held on October 18, at 6.p.m. in the newly upgraded historic rooms of the Mansion. A Luminous Future Gala will celebrate the efforts and commitment of all who have made this National Historic Landmark and its outstanding collections luminous and inspiring, like never before. From enhanced galleries to newly restored statuaries, from glittering period lighting to magnificent doors, now restored and embellished with decorative metallic finishes, the Museum will celebrate a new era of community engagement and enhanced visitor experience, with your help!
