Dear art community,

The Hopkinsville History Foundation is hosting its Museum Gala on Friday, September 18, 2026 to raise money for the Museums of Historic Hopkinsville, Christian County. This year’s gala theme is Palm Royale, celebrating famous Hopkinsville artist, broadway producer, and man of many talents: Gant Gaither.

Part of the program will be a silent art auction. The museum staff has selected seven of Gaither’s illustrated scarves – and one tile – that feature his beautiful artwork and whimsical “zoophisticates.” Use one or more of these artifacts as inspiration for a piece of artwork. The artwork AND artifacts will be on display at the museum the week leading up to the gala – and up for auction! The auction itself will take place during the evening of the gala. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Many thanks for your creativity and generosity,
Hopkinsville History Foundation
