Join us for the Greenville Museum of Art’s premier annual fundraiser, the 2026 Art Ball, supporting exhibitions, educational programs, and community initiatives. This year’s theme, Textiles Through Time, invites guests to dress creatively in celebration of the tradition and innovation of textile arts. Textile-inspired works will also appear in the silent auction.

Attendees will enjoy an elegant evening featuring fine dining, signature drinks, raffles, silent and live auctions, dancing, and live music from The Monterio Experience.

GMoA is proud to debut the Nancy Monroe Artist of the Year Award, honoring outstanding artistic achievement in North Carolina and commemorating the legacy of sculptor Nancy Monroe (1931–2024). The inaugural 2026 honoree is George Crisman Snyder III, an artist, muralist, and contemporary quilter known for his bold geometric style. A special pop-up exhibition of Snyder’s work will be showcased during the event. Snyder, who preserves Southern quilting traditions through hand-pieced, hand-quilted works, continues to teach and create from his Ayden studio.

Tickets: Members $135, Non-Members $185, Table of 8 $1,080.

Speaker:
For over 30 years, Ken Osen has been a researcher, designer, and sculptor for museums and the collectibles industry, primarily focusing on military uniforms of the 18th to the 20th century. This journey has taken him to personal and private military collections throughout the US and Europe to inspect real uniforms and equipment. His research provides historical context to the miniatures he creates.

The North Carolina History Series:
The North Carolina History lecture series continues this winter with the goal to engage the broader community and expand the understanding of, and engagement in, the fascinating history of New Bern, Craven County, and North Carolina. As our nation celebrates its 250th birthday, we are focused on the history surrounding our nation’s founding, and topics related to our colonial and revolutionary history.  We are pleased to welcome three historians who will present each week, for three consecutive weeks. 

The series is presented by the Lifetime Learning Center and Tryon Palace, in partnership with the Richard Dobbs Spaight Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the New Bern Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution.
