HEROES UNITE for the 2022 McKinley Gala! The McKinley Spring Gala is a family-friendly scavenger hunt and online auction. COVID safety inspired us to create a hybrid event with an opportunity for participants to “see” each other safely outdoors in the neighborhood. On Saturday, April 30, we need the students, families, and friends of McKinley to come participate in a special SUPERHERO scavenger hunt. Your very important MISSION is to scour the McKinley universe to find the missing Infinity Stones while helping us raise money for your school’s Art and Wheel programs. The scavenger hunt will take place in the North Park and South Park neighborhoods. You can strike out on a solo mission or form teams of superheroes (up to four adults and unlimited kids)!

In this docent-led talk you will explore major works by artists who triumphed despite human setbacks and prevailed through hope, humanity and creativity. Ludwig van Beethoven’s usage of “Ode to Joy” within his last symphony symbolizes his commitment to resilience despite becoming deaf. Likewise, other successful artists, including several painters represented in the Timken collection, have overcome various obstacles and continued to create great works of art. These artists all adapted to their situations with purposefulness and adaptability. They did not dwell on the negative but moved forward in their artistry. We are fortunate to have the gift of this timeless art! Date | Thursday, February 10 from 11 a.m. to noon Location | Online via Zoom Register here! This event is free and open to the public.
