Friends and patrons, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 48th annual Art Ball. Over the past thirteen years, Art Ball has raised more than $18 million to support the Dallas Museum of Art’s mission of engaging and educating the community. It is with deep gratitude that I recognize our Chairmen—the indomitable duo, Jennifer Karol and Catherine Rose—whose tenacious efforts have made this year’s Ball truly a one-of-a-kind event. Similarly, I want to thank our Honorary Chairmen, the Honorable Mike Rawlings and Micki Rawlings; your dedication to the Museum is greatly appreciated. How fitting for us to celebrate Art Ball: UNTITLED, as the Museum has truly become a one-of-a-kind institution. Thanks to your incredible generosity and unwavering commitment, we were able to not only open our doors to the public free of charge but also begin an unprecedented free membership program. The ongoing support of Art Ball will enable us to continue to grow passionate and involved audiences. Please enjoy this evening as we celebrate this year’s accomplishments and the Museum’s future successes.
