“China Night,” a black-tie dinner and auction Oct. 5 at the San Diego Museum of Art, will be hosted by the Asian Arts Committee for the benefit of the museum’s collection of Oriental art. The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. with a hosted cocktail hour, during which the auction items will be on view. A Chinese banquet, prepared by chefs from San Diego’s Shanghai restaurants, will be served at 8 p.m.

The evening will also feature modeling of a collection of 14 antique Chinese costumes, the oldest dating back to the Han Dynasty (202 BC to AD 220). A post-dinner drawing for prizes will give guests the chance to win a cruise to China. Tickets cost $100. For more information, call the museum.
