2024 Candlelight Gala logotype


Join us on Saturday, November 2, 2024 for an evening straight out of a magazine, featuring bourbon bars, a raffle for a sought-after bottle of Pappy Van Winkle, a treasure box of Arkansas turquoise, an Arkansas-inspired meal with fresh, local ingredients and a live auction with uniquely Arkansas experiences. Money raised will be used to acquire Arkansas Made art, objects, photographs, and papers—things that help tell the story of Arkansas’s people and their contributions. 

This year we honor Robin Loucks who has given 70 years of service to Historic Arkansas Museum.
