In celebration of “Charles Fritz: An Artist with the Corps of Discovery,” the Charles H. MacNider Art Museum has schedled its Denim & Diamonds Gala on Saturday, Oct. 14, beginning at 6:30 p.m.

The gala provides an opportunity for the public to meet and interact with the guest of honor, Charles Fritz.

The evening will be filled with champagne and gourmet hour d’oeuvres.
The music will be a blend of jazz, Dixie, and a little bit of country. Men are encouraged to wear tuxedo jackets with the jeans and boots.

Women should wear whatever strikes their fancy, but they are encouraged to wear as much jewelry as possible.

Tickets are $50 per person. All proceeds go to support museum exhibition programming.
