The Albrecht Kemper Museum of Art will again host a special Valentine’s Day event for people to attend
Marketing and Communications Manager Madison McKinley says the museum has been lucky to have the special event to welcome people in on the weekend
“We’re doing a five course meal from Luna’s Fine Dining and Catering, we’re going to have a specialty bar, (Executive Director) Eric (Fuson) is going to give an artist talk over some of the pieces in our collection that relate to love,” McKinley says on the KFEQmunnity show. “It’s just going to be an evening to bring your special someone out.”
McKinley says it is also a great event to bring your friends out to if you are hosting the ever-popular GALentine day.
Executive Director Eric Fuson says the event is well attended and always popular because it’s different from every other sort of dinner the museum hosts.
“We do have our regular seating in our cafe, but just for a little bit more you can sit out in the gallery spaces, so it will be kind of very intimate,” Fuson explains. “We have a few tables out throughout the gallery spaces, and that is just a totally different experience to sit down, really take a little time to enjoy your food, and enjoy the space you’re in, it really is a special night for sure.”
McKinley says it is best to get your tickets early if possible.
“The sooner the better, we have a registration on our website, or you can also call the museum and get set up with it directly over the phone if that’s easier for you,” McKinley says.
The event will run from 6 to 9pm on Valentine’s Day evening. Tickets are $85 per person, or $95 if you’d like to sit in the gallery. Contact the museum or go online to purchase tickets.
