More than 650 guests celebrated the opening of Cincinnati Art Museum’s “Van Gogh: Into the Undergrowth” during a gala Oct. 14. Attendees were taken on a journey through the dreams of Van Gogh, experiencing creative cocktails, performers from the undergrowth, an elegant dinner and a live auction under sparkling trees.
The funds raised through sponsorships, table purchases, ticket sales and auction items will help the museum present special exhibitions and thousands of educational programs.
The exhibit runs through Jan. 8.
