FABULOUS FLING
THE CENTER FOR PUPPETRY ARTS CELEBRATES ITS ANNUAL FALL FUNDRAISER
The String Fling Gala was held at the Loews Atlanta Hotel on Saturday, September 16, 2017. “Puppet Nouveau” was the theme of the evening, inspired by the art nouveau style and reimagined by event Co-Chairs Anne L. Cross and Mandy Mobley Li. A highlight of the evening was a “puppet serenade” of honoree Mrs. William B. Wylly, a long-time supporter and board member of the Center. Guests also enjoyed cocktails, a seated dinner, puppet making activity and live and silent auctions, all for the benefit of arts-infused educational programming for the Center for Puppetry Arts.
