pARTy 318!

pARTy 318! will take place again this year, Thursday, October 20, 2022, 5:30-8:00 PM at Masur Museum of Art, 1400 South Grand Street. Admission is free. Join the fun and enjoy food trucks, free wine and beer (beer provided by Marsala Beverage), live music by Makeshift Tapedeck, games, and more! Come one come all to the most fun pARTy of the year! Bring your I.D. and money for food trucks. Participating food trucks TBA. New this year is Raise the Roof!, a roof tile fundraiser for the permanent collection. Area artists are creating a work of art using one of the original blue slate tiles from the museum’s roof. In 2020, a tornado hit the museum causing roof damage and not all the original tiles from the 1929 roof were able to be reused. Some were saved and the tiles will be used to create art with them along with a fundraiser to benefit the museum’s permanent collection. Due to damage suffered from a fire in the museum’s art storage facility in 2017, the museum has recently purchased a new property for storing the art, increasing costs drastically for care of the collection. Tiles will be displayed in the Lower River Gallery of the Masur Museum from October 10-20, 2022 and also online at http://www.32auctions.com/raisetherooftile. Own a piece of history and a unique work of art all at once! Bidding takes place online only and will end when pARTy 318 ends at 8:00 PM on October 20, 2022.
