The Carnegie Arts Center in Alliance held their annual Fundraiser on Saturday called Gala Night of Giving.
Kyren Gibson, Executive Director of the Carnegie Arts Center talks about how the event went.
"It was an incredible turnout, I'm so grateful," Gibson said. "Everybody who put their heart and soul into this event is so excited to see the turnout."
She also describes some of the artists and art on display on Saturday.
"We were so graced by Yelena Khanevskya to be our exhibiting artist tonight in the upper galleries, and we are also very fortunate to have Mike Hesser who is our studio gallery artist as well," Gibson said. "Both artists complimented this event beautifully and we are so fortunate to have them."
Yelena’s exhibit titled “100 Western Skies” will be on display until Dec 2nd. She is an art instructor at WNCC and owner of Gallery B in Scottsbluff, NE.
Hesser’s work “Time Extended.” will run from September October 17th – December 9th.
Gibson says they exceeded the goal amount of 8,000 that they set in for the fundraiser and that the money that they raised is for general operations for the Carnegie Arts Center.
