Each holiday season, the Everson Members’ Council transforms the Museum into a festive wonderland. With decorated trees, wreaths and special displays donated by local business, organizations and individuals, the galleries are transformed into a must-see experience. During the Festival of Trees, the Members’ Council also hosts a black tie Preview Gala and Teddy Bear Tea. All proceeds from the Festival benefit special exhibition and education programming.
