The Black Creativity Gala, held in Chicago’s beautiful Museum of Science and Industry, was decidedly fresher and more open this year.
Stunning decor and centerpieces delighted the crowd, and the standard seated dinner service was updated with elaborate buffet stations of scrumptious meats, build-your-own salads and desserts and strategically located premium open bar stations.
The ever-youthful After 7 R&B group performed their top hits, bringing Chicago socialites and business leaders to their feet during the set.
Speaking of youthful, this year, many new faces were seen in the crowd, as several of Chicago’s richest families brought their sons and daughters to formally introduce them to the museum’s high society. The 2013 Black Creativity Gala was chaired by Kevin Brookins, Larry Hollins, Myra Price, and Greg T. Hinton.
The Black Creativity Gala is one of the Museum’s high-profile fundraising to support the Museum’s Black Creativity exhibitions and educational programs. With a theme of innovation, this year’s Black Creativity program will introduce attendees to the next wave of creativity in the areas of science, technology and medicine.
