Carnegie Hall invites women to grab their “gal” friends to attend Galentine’s Day at Club Carnegie on Thursday, Feb. 13, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. This event on the Hamilton Auditorium Stage is for celebrating women’s friendships – Valentine’s Day with “gal” friends.
Galentine’s Day at Club Carnegie will feature jewelry making with Connie Gottshall, music by John Maddy, chocolates by Aggie’s, snacks, and a cash bar. Trunk Shows by Wolf Creek Gallery and Aggie’s will also be set up.
Participants will make a beautiful bracelet, selecting from a wide variety of quality, artisan made beads to create a custom bracelet. Artist Connie Gottshall, who has been making and selling jewelry since 2007, will offer guidance and suggestions to help build a breathtaking piece to enjoy for years to come. All materials will be provided.
“It is our hope that this gathering will enhance member growth and develop into a series of activities/entertainment targeted to the 25 to 45 demographic,” explains Carnegie Hall Development Director Sally Bray. “We are excited to kick-off this endeavor with a jewelry making party led by Connie! Her workshops are so much fun.”
Pianist John Maddy has performed everything from intimate solo piano performances to band and orchestra performances in various states. He brings originals, along with jazz and classical favorites with the right amount of pop/rock to please everyone. He keeps the audience on their toes with his own unique way of blending musical styles.
Carnegie Hall’s gallery exhibitions will also be open during the event. Current artists include Newman Jackson (Lobby Gallery/Board Room), Suzan Morgan (Old Stone Room), and a Carl Frederick Gaetner Retrospective (Museum Gallery).
Tickets for the event are $30 per person and reservations are required. Attendees must be 21 years of age. For tickets or for more information, please visit carnegiehallwv.org, call 304-645-7917, or stop by the Hall at 611 Church Street, Lewisburg, WV.
