The Ellen Noël Art Museum of the Permian Basin (ENAM) is set to host its 39th Annual Shrimpfest on Monday, February 26, at the Ector County Coliseum, Building G. This event serves as the Museum’s largest and most successful fundraiser of the year with over 1,200 people expected to attend.
Guests are treated to unlimited Cajun shrimp, and opportunities to bid on a variety of unique items. The silent and live auctions include vacations, hunting trips, beauty products and jewelry as well as pieces made by local artists.
General Admission tickets are $50 in advance and $55 at the door. They include entry to the event, unlimited shrimp, and a drink.
As a non-profit organization, ENAM relies on fundraisers like Shrimpfest to help supplement the funding it receives through donations, memberships, and grants. All profits from this event help the Museum to sustain important programs like Art 2 Go for second graders, Free Community Art Days with activities for all ages, and Fine Arts Connection third grade field trips. It also allows the Museum to bring in important exhibitions like Gastronomy on display December 7, 2023 – March 10, 2024, and gives the public access to these exhibitions at no cost. Profits from Shrimpfest also help the Museum to expand, develop, and diversify its programs to better meet the needs of our growing community.
The public is invited to help support the Museum by purchasing their tickets to Shrimpfest 2024. General admission tickets are $50 in advance and $55 at the door, general entry begins at 7:00 p.m. Sponsorship tables are also available.
