The Claremont Lewis Museum of Art Fall Gala was held on Saturday, September 21 at 5:30 pm on the lawn of the Claremont Depot.

This year’s Fall Gala, “Reflections,” was inspired by the work of Phil Dike, one of Claremont’s most renowned painters from the last century and an influential and admired teacher to hundreds of students. Dike was celebrated with the naming of Gallery 2 in his honor.
