Return to the 1920s and the grandeur of the Gatsby era! Evergreen Museum & Library and the Creative Alliance at The Patterson present a madcap evening of art and film, featuring an outdoor film screening of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic "The Great Gatsby" (Coppola, 1974) set against Evergreen's opulent Gilded Age mansion. Beer and popcorn will be available for purchase. Film-goers are encouraged to come early and picnic on the lawn, play croquet, compete for "Best Dressed" in a 20s Summer Whites costume contest, take a self-guided tour of the museum's first floor rooms, see some of Scott's first editions and Zelda's drawings, and explore the biennial outdoor exhibition "Sculpture at Evergreen 2008." GATES OPEN 5:30; FILM AT 7:30.
