The Big Dinner, Laumeier’s annual fall fundraiser, is one of the most highly anticipated occasions in the region. Held outdoors on Laumeier’s expansive grounds, this chic evening of libations, fine dining, and live music raises crucial funds to support sculpture conservation, educational programs, and exhibitions at Laumeier.

Our 2022 theme, Out of the Woods, celebrates the concurrent fall exhibition Forest Through the Trees and Home Base, the project by Visiting Artist In Residence Jean Shin. The theme is also inspired by our collective desire to put difficult challenges behind us and emerge into the light of hope and optimism. 

All proceeds support Laumeier's dedication to creativity, community connections, and the restorative benefits of nature.
