Patrons’ Dinner 2025
The Nemeth Art Center is a creative and cultural anchor in this community. The work in creative placemaking offers more than just art; it builds belonging, sparks dialogue, and helps rural life thrive.
With the honor of receiving a Warhol Foundation grant, the mission to decentralize the art world and uplift diverse voices has been nationally recognized. This recognition is a meaningful sign that the Nemeth is on the right path - and it wouldn’t be possible without the collective efforts of volunteers, donors, and artists alike. The support of patrons turns vision, effort, and experience into action. By investing in the Nemeth, you’re not only elevating the arts - you’re helping make this region a more dynamic and connected place to live.
On the shores of Big Mantrap Lake - tucked between red pines and old fishing cabins turned family retreats - the Nemeth Art Center invites you to an evening that brings together art, conversation, and community.
This annual summer gathering features a silent auction of distinctive works from the Nemeth Art Center’s stable of past exhibiting artists. In addition to art available for purchase, enjoy a dinner by chef Kristin Tyborski, and a thoughtful selection of wine, local beer, and a signature cocktail. It’s an opportunity to connect with artists, supporters, and cultural organizers who care about the role of contemporary art in rural spaces.
