Night at the Museum Frazier Gala

There will be swag, a silent auction featuring Bourbons that you just can’t find anywhere else, and experiential encounters around every corner, sharing what is truly cool about Kentucky! After drinking, dancing, and discovering hidden gems throughout our galleries, the celebration will continue late into the night with an after-hours party featuring Ponyboy Slings!

Most importantly, Night at the Museum is an annual fundraiser that supports the museum’s exhibitions and educational programs, including free or reduced admission for Title 1 students, Frazier Weekly, our ‘Bridging the Divide’ series, camps, guest engagements, and ‘Stories in Mind,’ which brings the Frazier into long-term care communities. We encourage you to make a donation.

An Evening with Kentucky Poet Laureate Silas House
May 30
An Evening with Kentucky Poet Laureate Silas House

He will tell you John Boy Walton, a country boy who wanted to be a writer, was his hero. Silas House was living that same life in Southeastern Kentucky, and when a teacher told him he was a writer, he believed her as she had believed in him.

With his many novels, Silas House is among the strongest voices of Southern writers. He is a New York Times bestselling author, a Grammy nominee, Kentucky’s current poet laureate, and a faculty member at both Berea College and Spalding University’s Master of Fine Arts in Writing program, from which he received his degree. His working-class upbringing and deep roots in Appalachia helped shape him. And it wasn’t always easy as a gay man. Even so, you won’t find a greater advocate for Kentucky.

Come hear Silas House tell his own story in his most eloquent voice.

You will learn. You will be moved. You will be inspired.
