4th Annual Benefit Supporting Bishop Museum's Picture Gallery and Art Restoration Fund
The 4th Annual Benefit Dinner supporting Bishop Museum’s Picture Gallery and Art Restoration Fund will be held on Monday, November 9th from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Morton’s The Steakhouse, Honolulu, located at Ala Moana Center. Premium reserved seats and limited strolling buffet tickets are available.
For the fourth consecutive year, Morton’s the Steakhouse, Honolulu and Bishop Museum have teamed up to offer a fabulous evening including a lavish strolling buffet of Morton’s signature dishes, select wines, and classic martinis. In addition, event goers will have the rare opportunity to view selected pieces from Bishop Museum’s extraordinary collection of oil paintings of Hawai‘i from the 19th and 20th century. The event will also feature a fabulous silent auction including jewelry from Damiani and a one-of-a-kind, framed giclee from the Museum’s collection and the opportunity to adopt a painting in need of restoration.
All funds will go to the Museum’s Picture Gallery and Art Restoration Fund to restore paintings in need of conservation work and prepare them for eventual display in the Museum’s Picture Gallery. The Picture Gallery, located on the third floor of the Hawaiian Hall complex, currently displays paintings restored with funds raised at previous Morton’s benefit events. For reservations and more information, please call (808) 848-4170.
