CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Held in June each year, Flying High is an evening celebrating artists and the works of art of the region. Flying High is Customs House Museum’s preeminent fundraiser of the year, supporting educational and exhibit programming of the Museum.
This year’s event will be held June 17 at 5 p.m. at Old Glory Distilling Co. and promises to be unlike any other Flying High in history. The theme of the evening is Havana Nights, which will transport you back to a time when Cuba’s musical golden age flourished.
Many local businesses and patrons of the museum generously sponsor tables, as well as donate goods and services for the silent and live auctions. Attendees can also bid on a sampling of the region’s artistic richness, as each year a different group of artists are approached and agree to donate their work to support the museum’s cause.
The silent auction begins at 5 p.m. with dinner at 7 p.m., the live auction at 8 p.m., and music and dancing to follow.
A special Tasting Bar featuring Old Glory’s specialties available to all attendees will be set up, as well as an outdoor cash cigar bar.
This year’s signature artist will be Billy Renkl, Professor of Art, Drawing and Illustration, at Austin Peay State University.
