The Alzheimer’s Association will host Treasure, a French soiree and arty party, on June 4th at Cuvée Champagne Bar in Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward. Treasure is a fundraising event in the Milwaukee art community to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association and promote its signature art program, Memories In The Making®, a platform that encourages creative art expression for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. 

This trendy soiree will feature hors d’oeuvres, lively libations, contemporary entertainment, a wearable art boutique and other surprises.  The evening’s focal point is a “must see” auction of collectibles chosen from the Memories in the Making® program.  Nineteen of these unique creations will be paired with fine artwork donated by a distinguished group of 19 Wisconsin fine artists including Richard Taylor, Jason Yi & Jenna Knapp and Melissa Dorn Richards.

The event will be emceed by Lee Ann Garrison, Executive Director, Peck School of the Arts’ Design Research Institute and Art and Design Associate Professor, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Tom Strini, Senior Editor and Arts Critic, Third Coast Daily online cultural magazine.  Frank Gimbel, Founding Partner, Gimbel Reilly Guerin & Brown, LLP, Attorneys at Law, will be the guest auctioneer.

Proceeds from Treasure will support the extensive programs and services provided to the community by the Alzheimer’s Association including the Memories in the Making program, support groups, family and individual care consultation, education and training, safety services and a 24/7 Helpline.
