THE BLANTON MUSEUM'S biennial celebration did not
disappoint with this year's Off the Wall gala. Guests gathered for a
cocktail hour in the museum's atrium as the venue filled with hundreds
of art enthusiasts and UT alumni, including Vince Young. Attendees
were then escorted by a UT band ensemble to dinner across the street at
the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, where they were
serenaded by an a cappella group at the entrance. Designed by Strong
Events and Mandarin Design Lab, the evening was hosted in honor of
UT President Bill Powers and his many contributions to the success of
the museum. It raised $850,000 for future programming.
