The Art Deco movement was birthed from a time of artistic experimentation and was defined by numerous movements in modern art, representing the same artistic experimentation and boldness which led to the beginnings of a 2,000 square foot art center that has since grown to nearly 50,000 square feet of facilities serving over 80,000 visitors annually. This event is a celebration of all of those who have come through our doors over the last five decades and will include a seated dinner, libations, live entertainment, dancing, and more!
