Van Gogh Gala

The Van Gogh Gala, an annual fundraiser at the Rapides Regional Medical Center, benefitting River Oaks Square Arts Center, is a chance for community members and patrons to become artists for an evening. Star artists are matched with a River Oaks resident artist or local artist to create a piece together, with this year's theme being "'Gala Under the Stars—Celebrating 35 Years." Guests are encouraged to foster inspiration by attending garbed in the fashions of their favorite famous artists. 

Some artists contribute their own works to the live auction. All works are placed on the auction block during an exciting live auction on the evening of the gala with all proceeds benefitting the ongoing operations of River Oaks Square Arts Center. $65. 7 pm until. (318) 473-2670. riveroaksartscenter.com.
