The gallery is currently open online, and the show culminates in a November 14 live fundraising event at McGuffey, which includes music by Wild Common, a performance by dancer Lillie Williams, and a culinary experience from APimento Catering’s chef-owner Gay Beery. Those who choose to remain at home can enjoy an upscale meal delivered by Tavola restaurant, along with remote bidding access.
