Despite last Friday's snow storm, cocktails and tapas flowed at The Montclair Art Museum's signature winter event
Jazz for Art Education. Co-chaired by Museum Trustee Michael Heningburg, Jr. and his wife Dr. Jeanine Downie, this successful event gave guests the opportunity to bid on exclusive auction packages and listen to world-renowned jazz artists Claudio Roditi and Dave Valentin. Montclair's own accomplished jazz musicians Steve and Iqua Colson also performed, and Dr. Ruby Sampson of South Orange serenaded the audience as well.
In addition to raising funds for various art programs, Jazz for Art Education celebrated the accomplishments of New Jersey's Secretary of State The Honorable Nina Wells for her longstanding support of art education and cultural organizations throughout the state.
