Monthaven Arts and Cultural Center’s goal is to make the arts available to everyone. Moonlight and Magnolias helps make that possible. Moonlight and Magnolias is the MACC’s premier annual fundraiser. Founded in 2018, this elegant black-tie event brings together many of Middle Tennessee's most prominent arts patrons for an evening of art, music, fine dining and dancing. Our pre-gala event takes place at Monthaven on April 30. Moonlight & Magnolias highlights a different artist, whose works will be on exhibit in our museum. These artists also conduct master classes for our students, and they create a new work for the MACC’s permanent collection. The phenomenal Patrick Guyton will be this year's featured artist. The gala event will include dinner, dancing and a live art auction that benefits the MACC’s arts education and outreach programming.
