Arts Garage owes so much to its outstanding supporters, and at the venue’s first Tribute Gala, the community will honor two couples who have dedicated themselves to Arts Garage’s success. Chuck and Pam Halberg and Bob and Linda Schmier are renowned South Florida business leaders who sit on the venue's board of directors. The couples will be recognized at the event taking place on Friday, November 11, 2016 at 6pm. The evening, hosted by the Arts Garage Guild, will feature live entertainment along with dinner and cocktails. Tickets are $125 per person and can be purchased by calling 561-450-6357.

“The Halbergs and the Schmiers have done so much for our community through their incredible support of Arts Garage,” said Peter Armour, Guild president. “Arts Garage has become a critically acclaimed cultural hub thanks to their unwavering commitment. The entire board and guild are extremely grateful.”

All funds raised at the gala will benefit the educational and programming initiatives at Arts Garage, which add immeasurably to the artistic riches and quality of life available throughout South Florida. The evening’s master of ceremony will be former Delray Beach mayor, Jeff Perlman.

“We are honored by this tribute,” said Chuck Halberg. “And we want to take this time to thank the City of Delray Beach and The CRA for their tremendous show of support. We also want to recognize the wonderful staff at Arts Garage for their tireless dedication and stellar programming initiatives. It is a privilege to be part of this wonderful organization.”

Bob Schmier echoed those sentiments adding, “We also want to thank all of the incredible patrons, who for the past five years, have joined us week after week to partake in the rich cultural experience that Arts Garage offers to the community. We have shared many good times and we look forward to many more years to come.”
