Night at the Library: The Art of Murder (Tickets Available at Door)

Heavy Hors D'oeurves \\ Wine & Beer Cash Bar \\ Live Performances \\ & More

It's time for the Friends of Hedberg Public Library's 14th annual Mingle Murder Mystery fundraiser. 

Welcome to the most exclusive night on the social calendar: The Art Gala 

Originally known as the Flindenschnieder Art Insititute of Innovation, Creativity, Design and Exploration Benefit Gala, it is now simply known as The Art Gala.

The Art Gala is an evening of excess for a good cause, at least, that’s what the excuse has been. Benefactors, socialites, artists, celebrities, and social climbers use the night to be seen in each other’s company. The evening benefits the Flindenschnieder’s extensive art collection. Guests are asked to dress to impress in haute couture inspired by any and all genres of art – sculpture, modern, classical – as long as it’s stunning, expensive, unique, and often controversial it’s perfect for the evening.

The Art Gala has not been without controversy. Themes have stepped on toes, outfits have caused outrage, and each year someone is publicly snubbed. The Art Gala is always a killer event, this year -- even more so.

The theme for 2023 is ARTrageous Fashion. Dress to impress & to solve the mystery.

Purchase tickets online* or by visiting the Ground Floor Coffee and Gift Shop at the library, with cash or check, starting September 1st. Presale ticketing ends at noon on the day of the event, after which tickets may be purchased at the door.

*There is an additional $2 service fee added to online purchases.
