Scenes from BlackRock Center for the Arts Gems and Jewels Gala

On Friday, the arts community celebrated the "many facets of BlackRock."

BlackRock Center for the Arts, a focal point of Germantown Town Center,  hosted its Gems and Jewels gala. The theater's marketing director Amanda Johnston said the gala, which had sold out, was the organization's sole fundraiser of the year. 

Awards were presented to Mid-Atlantic Federal Credit Union, Vicki Crawford, and Mildred E. MacVicar for their involvement with the theater. Honorary chair Catherine Leggett hosted the event with co-chairs Melane and Tom Hoffmann.  Former Washington Post columnist Bob Levey was the emcee the live auction.
