A Night at the (Montclair Art) Museum

by Elizabeth Palmer Starnes


Friday night was a gorgeous night to be outside at the Montclair Art Museum. The event, sponsored by Amanti Vino, benifited programs and exhibitions at MAM, and brought out a lively and generous group of supporters.

Guests enjoyed a sampling of artisinal wines, canapes, and delicious made-to-order pizzas by Pizza Vita, fired up in ninety seconds using their portable custom wood-fire oven. Musical blends by Eugene Chrysler entertained, and a silent auction helped raise money for the cause. The galleries were also open for perusal, featuring modern and comtemporary art from private collections.
