In the two years since he became chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, Rocco Landesman has been trying to make the case that art is an effective linchpin to economic development. Now in a broad effort to build on that thesis, he has helped to enlist an unusual consortium of foundations, corporations and federal agencies that will use cultural enterprises to anchor and enliven 34 projects around the country, from a struggling city block in Detroit to a vacant school in East Harlem.
The Bellamy Mansion Museum of History and Design Arts Celebrates 150 Years
CELEBRATE THE BELLAMY!
Join us for the Bellamy Ball: A Celebration of 150 Years. This exclusive gala event is for 150 guests, at $150 per person, to celebrate our 150th anniversary. Beginning at 6:30 p.m., guests will enjoy cocktails and live music at the beautifully decorated Mansion, browsing an eclectic array of items and trips to prime vacation spots available in a silent auction. A delicious starlit dinner, followed by dancing in the gardens under the magnolias, will complete this magical evening.
The Bellamy Mansion Museum of History and Design Arts is a non-profit educational institution that interprets the social and architectural history of our region – and adds heritage tourism dollars to our economy. The museum receives absolutely no operational support from local, state or federal government. All funds raised will help secure the museum’s future and ensure the education of thousands of visitors, including school, church and civic groups.
