The Friends of the Museum is a volunteer organization that supports museum fundraising, advocacy and special programing. Harvest Supper prides itself on being a showcase of local and regional artists, musicians, and chefs. Annually, the event connects alumni, local residents, and out-of-town guests with artists, writers, and musicians for dinner and entertainment on the historic grounds of Rowan Oak, the former home of Nobel Prize-winning author William Faulkner, in Oxford, Mississippi.

Through Harvest Supper, the Friends has been able to give more than $100,000 annually to the museum, most of which comes from sponsorships. The various sponsorship levels guarantee tickets to the Harvest Supper, admission passes to Rowan Oak, membership to the University Museum, and much more.

The University of Mississippi Museum has again been recognized as one of the top collegiate museums in the country, and William Faulkner’s Rowan Oak, is designated a National Historic Landmark. Harvest Supper contributions help support fantastic programs and projects at both the Museum and Rowan Oak, including continued support of Rowan Oak’s arrival experience. These contributions also serve our entire community by shining a spotlight on the wonderful tradition of fine arts and culture we are proud to recognize and celebrate in Oxford.

Proceeds from the evening will help support numerous aspects of the University Museum, including acquisitions, the Conversations guest lecture series, exhibitions, educational programming, and special events. The event also supports special project costs for Rowan Oak and the Walton-Young Historic House, also managed by the museum.
