This special evening also pays tribute to The Gamm's 15 years at the armory.

"It's been a tremendous season and I can't wait to celebrate it with our artists, staff, board and, most importantly, our audience. Aside from enjoying a great party, I am most excited for the chance to honor Leon for his contribution to the Rhode Island non-profit community. His steady, selfless leadership has enriched the cultural fabric of our state," said Artistic Director Tony Estrella.

Managing Director Oliver Dow added, "David Wax spent his entire life in service to the arts as a leader, administrator and patron. With this award we honor individuals who have demonstrated a similar commitment to promoting and preserving the arts in our community. Leon Boghossian embodies these principles and we are thrilled to recognize him at this year's gala."

Guests will enjoy an open bar cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres, followed by a 3-course sit-down dinner by Russell Morin Catering and Events. A silent auction starts online on March 16 at bidpal.net/gammgala ?and will conclude at the event.
