The College of DuPage Foundation, in support of the McAninch Arts Center and Cleve Carney Museum of Art, is hosting the "For the Love of Warhol: A Night at Studio 54" gala on Saturday, Feb. 18, at Esplanade Lakes in Downers Grove.

This Studio 54-inspired evening will celebrate the culture of Andy Warhol's work and social scene.

It will begin with a cocktail reception at 6 p.m. followed by dinner at 7 p.m. Cocktail attire is suggested.

A special highlight of the event is Cher tribute artist Lisa McClowry bringing attendees back to the days of disco.

A silent and live auction for travel, golf, dining, and one-of-a-kind experiences and an open bar will also make this an evening to remember.
