HAPPENINGS Museum Members In December 2010, the Columbia Museum of Art implemented a renewable energy project with a solar panel array on the roof of its building. The solar panels will produce 10-20% of the Museum’s daily energy usage. The inaugural Arts & Draughts in January attracted over 550 attendees for art, music, and more. Audiences have grown each month, with over 750 attending in February and over 850 in March. The next Arts & Draughts will be on Friday, April 1. Get ready to party like a rock star! Grit & Glamour will indulge the senses with out-of-this-world entertainment and decorations, delectable cuisine by Southern Way Catering and fanciful libations. Entertainment includes fabulous dance music from The Swingin’ Richards, a piano bar, Izms of Art, a DJ spinning records, lounge singers and surprise performances throughout the evening. Plus, an exclusive online auction gives you a chance at anything from a moment in the spotlight onstage with the ballet to a guitar signed by The Band member and Grammy winner - Levon Helm!
