Butterfield Garage Art Gallery opened its doors for a warm benefit evening in support of Saint Augustine's EMMA Concert Association — the beloved all-volunteer nonprofit that has been bringing world-class musicians, orchestras, and dance performances to Flagler College's Lewis Auditorium since 1979.

Guests arrived to live music and light appetizers, mingling among the gallery's collection while Butterfield artists and EMMA members filled the room with the easy energy that happens when art and music share the same space. A work created by featured artist Anna Miller was up for raffle, and Miller herself took the evening's spotlight to announce the artist selected to create next year's EMMA piece — a tradition passed forward with quiet ceremony.

Art purchases that night came with a 10% discount. The event was free and open to the public. Saint Augustine at its best.
