Art Center announces two fundraising events
In addition to its summer fundraising event, the Marion Art Center is "going back to the 80s" with a spring fundraiser event to be held at the Marion Music Hall on May 6. (Note the date was originally May 7.)
At a recent meeting of the MAC's board of directors, it was noted that the last major renovation of the inside of the building was done in 1985. Since that time, the improvements to the galleries and the theater have become obsolete and are in need of replacement and updating. Consequently, the directors decided to celebrate the 80’s with a fundraiser party with proceeds going to benefit the launch of a major improvements campaign.
The event is open to the public and will be held at the Marion Music Hall on Saturday, May 6. Tickets will be $50, there will be a cash bar and a DJ playing 80’s hits. More details will be announced soon, but in the meantime, start searching for those leg warmers, head bands and other 80’s gear.
The Art Center will hold its annual summer fundraiser cocktail party on July 8.
