Proceeds from the dinner will help to restore Bishop Museum’s collection of 18th and 19th century artwork that is in need of restoration and conservation.
The Benefit Dinner fare includes a sumptuous strolling buffet of Morton’s signature dishes, select wines, and classic Mortinis ™.

A few of the Museum’s extraordinary collection of oil paintings will be on display, including the chance to “adopt” a painting in need of restoration.
