Revels, the Academy’s oldest fundraising benefit, will be different this winter. But it will still be Revels.

Guests will savor yummy cocktail snacks, a great dinner and a bubbly beverage—just in the comfort of your own home. The evening on Zoom, hosted by emcee Monk Shane-Lydon, will include a concert by blues musician Cathy Grier, with a few selections from her newly released album “I’m All Burn.”

A new addition for Revels this year, the Academy will raffle 14 original artworks throughout the event– paintings, ceramics and photography generously donated by some of our community’s most acclaimed gallery artists.

These include Stephanie A. Anderson, Norma Cohen, Pamela Dalton, Mary Anne Davis (davistudio), Leslie Gabosh, Patricia Gravett, Ron Harrington, Ellen Hoverkamp, Barbara Lax Kranz, Ellen Lynch, Moira O’Grady, Gerald Seligman, Neal Warshaw, and Barbara M.L. Willner.The retail value of the art ranges from $175 to $1100. Raffle tickets are $100 each. The more you buy, the better your chances!

And there are more surprises in store, so get your tickets for this fun evening now. Deadline for reservations is February 1. Hey, it’s the next best thing to being there!
