Muse Gala

Sonoma CA … A muse is defined as a person or a personified force who is the source of inspiration for a creative artist. The Sonoma Community Center is itself a source of inspiration for artists, potters, musicians, dancers, chefs, and performers. The Center has an annual tradition of choosing a notable local as a muse and then celebrating him or her with a gala. The Muse Gala was first held in 2006 to honor people and personalities that have added to the cultural texture of our community.

Past Muses include Jack London, Jack Lundgren, Count Agoston Haraszthy, Alma Spreckles, Robert M. Lynch, Nicholas Carriger, Chuck Williams, Mary Ellen Pleasant, James Zellerbach, Gary Edwards, Steve & Holly Kyle, Carol & Sam Morphy, Elaine Bell, Kevin McNeely, Kimberly and Simon Blattner, as well as the Sonoma Plein Air Foundation.
