O What A Night Gala

Ogden Museum of Southern Art will host its annual O What a Night Gala in-person on Saturday, January 15, 2022 at 6 p.m.!  This evening is not only an experiential celebration of the very best in Southern art, music and food, but also provides critical funds for Ogden Museum’s award-winning educational programs and our dynamic exhibitions.

“Since 2004, O What a Night! has been an annual event to celebrate the art and artists of the American South while raising money for Ogden Museum and its educational mission. This year Ogden Museum is proud to honor Sally Mann, an internationally recognized American photographer from Lexington, Virginia, with the annual Opus Award, given each year to a member of the arts community whose life’s work constitutes a major contribution to the cultural landscape of the South.⁣”
