FAQ

What do I wear to the Spring Gala?
The Spring Gala invites you to come in what makes you comfortable. Many guests come in cocktail attire, and just as many get creative based on the year’s theme. This year’s theme, Color Flings, invites you to color your mood. You may want to emerge from winter in your boldest and brightest colors, or you may choose varying hues of one color only. Explore new colors—have an affair (a fling, if you will) with a color not in your typical palette.

Where is Plains Art Museum? Where is parking?
Plains Art Museum is located downtown at 704 First Ave N Fargo, ND 58102. Parking is available in the lot south of the Museum, and there is also a parking ramp, the Robert Commons Garage, with free weekend parking within a 5-minute walk to Plains Art Museum.

What does the Spring Gala support?
All proceeds benefit Plains Art Museum. Plains Art Museum is the largest and only accredited art museum in North Dakota, a distinction held by only ~3% of museums in the nation. Last year, the Museum served about 57,000 people, including established and emerging artists, tourists from all over the world, indigenous youth, community members with Autism, the area’s workforce, families, and more. Galleries are open every day of the week, and admission is FREE. In addition to displaying high-quality art, Plains Art Museum is home to a print studio, a ceramic studio, and a 2D art studio space. Classes and programs often draw inspiration from the galleries. The Museum ensures art education is accessible through scholarships for community classes as well as a roster of FREE public programs.

When purchasing your Spring Gala ticket, consider making an additional donation when prompted. Every gift, large or small, helps foster creative, resilient, and welcoming communities.
