“Artistry Unveiled” - BAM’s Very First Fundraising Event at the Bolingbrook Golf Club.

At the end of June, the Bolingbrook Arts Museum (BAM) held its inaugural event—a monumental occasion for our community and our mission to bring a world-class art institution to Bolingbrook.

Despite the challenges of vacation season, the event turned out to be a resounding success, drawing art lovers, community members, and supporters from across the region. It was a day to remember, filled with vibrant energy, exciting art, and a shared passion for creativity.

The event, held at the beautiful Bolingbrook Golf Club, featured an impressive array of artworks that were showcased and auctioned.

From timeless classics to contemporary pieces, attendees were given a glimpse of what the future Bolingbrook Arts Museum will offer: a dynamic mix of art that both inspires and captivates.

The event also provided a platform for local artists, who were able to present their work to an enthusiastic and supportive audience.

One of the highlights of the evening was the incredible turnout, especially a visit from the Mayor of Bolingbrook Mary Alexander - Basta - Pictured below with one of our board members Mary Grear.

It spoke volumes about the dedication and passion our community has for the arts, and for BAM’s mission to fill the cultural gap in our region.
