Fabulous at 50

Phoenix Art Museum

Everything was perfect at Phoenix Art Museum’s 50^th Anniversary Gala. The Peter Duchin Orchestra and entertainer Morganne generated a lot of excitement, guests danced, and danced, and danced. M. Catering by Michaels and Julia Baker Confections created a memorable feast. Jacquie and Bennett Dorrance were chairmen for the gala and Denise and Robert Delgado along with Amy and Timothy Louis served as co-chairmen. Hyde Park created a necklace to commemorate the occasion, ladies found the beautiful gift at their tables. The evening ended with the presentation of Fabulous at 50: Phoenix Art Museum, produced and published by McMurry Inc. Doris Ong was chairman of the publication team for this beautiful book. Congratulations and cheers to Phoenix Art Museum and those dedicated to preserving this important cultural treasure.

Quote: Ellen Katz, Board Chairman and seven-year Board of Trustees member:

“It’s amazing to me that this museum has the legacy that is does and that so many people support it in such a faithful and loyal way. It’s so young and new. We have got to maintain the legacy we’ve all inherited and try to build on that.”
