Marie Selby Botanical Gardens brought its closest supporters together for its annual Chariman's Circle dinner on Jan. 24.
Dozens of supporters met in a tent space on the Selby lawn for the annual dinner, which is put on in appreciation for donor support over the years.
The night's main attraction was Edward Mapplethorpe — brother of upcoming exhibit focus Robert Mapplethorpe — having a conversation with director emeritus of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, James S. Snyder.
Marie Selby Botanical Gardens president and CEO Jennifer Rominiecki spoke to Selby Garden's recent $31 million bond sale to finance its master plan for its downtown Sarasota campus.
