In conjunction with Meadows Museum's current exhibit, "Louisiana Collects: Paperworks from the Roland-Geist Collection of New Orleans," the Museum will host a lecture by collector George Roland, owner of the Roland-Geist Collection, Sunday, Oct. 8, from 2–3 p.m. The lecture will be followed by an art supper in Roland's honor.
Roland's lecture, "Collecting or Shopping?," will explain how he and the late Gregg Geist assembled this collection of modern art.
Roland will be the special guest at a supper at Ernest's Orleans Restaurant. This event will feature a silent art auction, poster sale, cocktail buffet, Ernest's menu items and music by Dorsey
Summerfield.
Hosted by the Friends of Meadows Museum, the gala is intended
to serve as a fundraiser to help the Museum purchase textiles and textile mounts for the Jean Despujols exhibition in March 2007. Tickets are $50. Reservations can be made through the Museum up until Oct. 6.
