An Artists’ Affair is MAG’s annual fundraiser to support our efforts to provide greater access to education, exhibitions, and programming for the Rochester community and beyond.
Dress in your 1920s best and join us for an unforgettable evening of music, dance, art, and Roaring Twenties nostalgia!
| Price | Description |
|---|---|
| $125 | Individual Ticket* |
*$25 tax-deductible
Dance the night away with music by DJ Key-YO!, or, if you prefer, enjoy a silent disco by SE2.
Also experience swing dance performances by Groove Juice Swing, tours of the galleries, and 1920s silent films (with popcorn, of course) courtesy of George Eastman Museum and Popcorn Charlie’s.
Have your own watercolor portrait painted by one of our talented Creative Workshop teaching artists.
Grab a delicious cocktail or mocktail (think Old Fashioned, Sidecar, or Bees Knees), a handful of 1920s candy (think Babe Ruth, Oh Henry, or Charleston Chews), and step into a lively casino* for a few rounds of Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, and more.
Each ticket includes everything above, delicious heavy hors d’oeuvres prepared by Root Catering, and one drink voucher (cash bar thereafter).
You won’t want to miss this fundraiser in support of greater access to education, exhibitions, and programming for the Rochester community and beyond.
It’s going to be the bees knees!
