Events

Series 2: Events, 1958-2008, undated, includes all information pertinent to the many events hosted by the Alliance throughout their history. These events include the yearly holiday tea, special lectures, consignment sales, wine auctions, museum membership drives, and their biennial balls, among many other events. Every event sponsored and created by the Alliance was planned to benefit the museum, with the exception of 2004. The 2004 wine auction aided the Indianapolis Zoo instead, due to a conflict with the IMA’s scheduled Founder’s Day events.
The Events series includes planning and evaluation notes, material samples, flyers, committee reports, committee meeting minutes, invitations, news clippings, correspondence, photos, catalogs, reminders, etc. Also included are lecture slides from “Wearable Art for the 80s”, audio recordings of an Everything Old is New Again advertisement and an IMA Designer Showcase House radio spot. This series is housed in 5 boxes, 1 photo box, 1 OVA folder, 1 OVB, 7 binders, 1 slide box, and 3 audio recordings, and materials are arranged chronologically.
