SPECIAL EVENT Thursday, August 16, 20125 – 9 p.m. Outside, weather permitting The 9th Annual Art Perchance, presented by the Friends of the Institute, will be held outdoors in Target Park on August 16, from 5 to 9 p.m. This year marks the third time Art Perchance is collaborating with the MIA's Third Thursday, providing a great combination of programming from both events. Art Perchance will again feature donated original works of art from a growing and impressive group of local, regional, and national artists, collectors, and galleries, which will be on display in the Target Wing Atrium. Visitors will play carnival games to win tokens that can be used in drawings for these artworks.
In addition to the games and drawings for art, expect silent auctions, refreshments for sale, entertainers, live music, henna tattoos, silly glasses and fake mustaches. Money raised by Art Perchance supports the Friends' initiative to bring busloads of schoolchildren to the MIA all year.
This year's event co-chairs are Amanda Falloon and Katie Eiser.
Patron tickets will entitle the bearers to special perks, including complimentary tokens, a private artists reception from 5 to 6 p.m., and a VIP lounge with special refreshments.
