Alliance honors Bruce Gora with 'A Night Remember'
Musician. Photographer. Architect. Community volunteer. The Lee County Alliance of the Arts will be celebrating the life of Bruce Gora at an event hosted by his friends and family on Dec. 5. Bruce Gora: A Night to Remember will feature Mr. Gora's photography, architectural and community accomplishments, as well as live music, artist contributions, and culinary delights.
A longtime Alliance board member, event chair for Art Royale - Art in Flight, and the original architect of the Alliance campus, Mr. Gora was an integral part of the local arts and culture community. The event will pay tribute and honor the man, his community contributions and his lifelong love of the arts.
The Alliance welcomes all cultural and business communities who were touched by Mr. Gora's life to participate in this evening of celebration. Visual, performing and culinary artists will be a part of the event. Invitations to become a member of "100 Friends of Bruce" will be going out shortly.
Proceeds from the event will fund an endowment for a continuing photography scholarship in his name, improvements and a permanent memorial on the Alliance outdoor stage, and the initiating of an outdoor Bruce Gora Memorial Concert Series.
