The Ringling Museum hosted a Circle Member Preview Dinner on Sept. 4 for the opening of its newest exhibit, 'Storytelling,' a travelling art collection from the Horvitz family. 

A sudden storm cut the reception short for the Circle members, which is a group of the museum's top donors. It moved the party quickly inside to get a first look at the new exhibit, which consists of French art from multiple eras.
