It was an evening fit for a garden party and soiree, as patrons participated in fun and fanfare along the St. Johns River in the enchanted Cummer gardens. Complete with outstanding weather and tremendous turnout, the festivities included a bagpipe performance.

This year’s ball paid respects to the countless works in the Permanent Collection at the museum and looked back on the history of gracious donors, fine works, and carefully curated collections – from Classic to Contemporary.

The evening was made possible by support from countless patrons, but special work by Pam Paul and Martha Baker, alongside Event Co-Chairs Liz Parks and LeAnna Cumber helped to make this year special. Honorary Chair Joannie Newton, and grandchildren of the Stein and Newton families, including Ashley Stein Wotiz, Kimberly Stein Tonning and Kelly Stein Kuntz were on hand to celebrate – and pay tribute to – the hard work of the ball committee, museum staff, junior docents and volunteers.
