The Rockwell Museum Board of Trustees and staff invite you to a star-studded evening celebrating heroes who have changed the world! Strut the red carpet, strike a pose for the paparazzi (a.k.a. The Self-Portrait Project) and dance the night away to award-winning tunes featuring the Silver Arrow Band. Enjoy specialty cocktails and decadent hors d’oeuvres as we celebrate the individuals who influenced us and who are moved by conviction, truth and love to improve communities, society and our world! 

The annual Rockwell Masquerade Gala is a fundraising event that supports the Museum’s exhibitions, education programs, events and more. We hope you will join us!
