Arts Council awards Hood-Sherrill Scholarships
Donations for Mountain Palette Gala fundraiser Banner Elk – Spectacular jewelry designs, handcrafted treasures, and one of a kind outdoor experiences – these are only a few of the items up for bid at this year’s Mountain Palette Arts Gala. The event takes place on Thursday, July 16 at Linville Ridge Country Club and is an annual benefit bringing the community together in support of the programs and services of the Avery Arts Council.
Gala co-chair Rebecca Warner reminds patrons that the auction tables will hold more than beautiful things to view and wear – there are great opportunities for golfers and outdoor enthusiasts. Golf packages from the area’s magnificent courses are a perennial favorite, and the exclusive guided hike courtesy of the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy will attract the naturalists in the crowd. Tickets for the Mountain Palette Gala are $125 per person, and can be purchased from the Avery Arts Council. Guests enjoy cocktails and open bar while perusing the silent auction items, followed by a luxurious dinner prepared by Linville Ridge Country Club’s Chef Derek Smee. A live auction rounds out the evening. Entertainment will be by Ottava Rima. Gala sponsors helping to underwrite the costs of putting on the event are Hood, Hargett, and Associates, Dianne Davant and Associates, and Jason and Rebecca Warner.
