We are twirling in our gowns, celebrating our artist, sculptor
This March, the Morris Museum of Art in Augusta, Georgia will roll out the red carpet in John’s honor at their 2026 Gala, celebrating the opening of his exhibition Dressed to Thrill: Sculpture by John Petrey. His signature garment-inspired sculptures will take center stage, proving once again that fashion and fine art make a dazzling pair.
Join the celebration at on March 6, 2026, from 7–11 PM. Expect black-tie elegance, exceptional cuisine, live entertainment, and yes, a raffle where one lucky guest may go home with one of John’s enchanting sculptures (we’re swooning already).
The Thirty-Third Morris Museum of Art Gala, co-chaired by Virginia McKnight and John Cates, promises an evening of modern glamour and artistic delight, honoring the incomparable John Petrey and his unforgettable work.
We are endlessly proud to represent John at GALLERY 1401. His sculptures stop people mid-sentence, spark conversations, and leave our visitors utterly smitten.
John, we could not be happier for you and this beautiful moment in your journey 🤍
