Michigan Legacy Art Park presented the Legacy Gala on Friday, August 4, 2017. This signature fundraising event raised nearly $50,000 for the mission-driven programs and activities of the Art Park. The event featured a silent auction, sparkling wine reception, locally-sourced dinner, live music by Laurie Sears and the presentation of the Legacy Award. 

The Legacy Award honors those who make a significant, positive impact on Michigan’s arts, history, culture or environment. 

The 2017 Legacy Award was presented to Doug and Anne Stanton for their significant contributions to Michigan including their own prolific writing, vision for building community through literature, and commitment to sharing a love for writing and reading with the next generation.

Please join us in August 2018 for the 10th Annual Legacy Gala!
