The 2019 Frist Gala was one for the books. With its thematic inspiration from the Frist Art Museum’s presentation of Van Gogh, Monet, Degas, and Their Times: The Mellon Collection of French Art from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and A Sporting Vision: The Paul Mellon Collection of British Sporting Art from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the evening was full of colorful gowns, dapper gentlemen and all-around smiling guests. Scroll through the gallery below for a our recap of the evening.
