Marion Cultural Alliance’s, iconic fundraiser and exhibit Block pARTy, returns - bigger, bolder and just in time for Summer!
Back by popular demand, this exhibit features 12 x 12 ‘blocks’ of art created by local and regional artists, designers, and creators. This year's celebration embraces the essence of Summer; Expect vibrant colors, playful patterns, and a celebration of creativity that captures the essence of the season. Attendees will have the opportunity to mingle with the artists, participate in interactive art experiences, and enjoy Summer themed tapas & drinks that bring the event to life. Themed attire is encouraged.
The MCA Summer Block pARTy launches with the VIP Reception, Friday, June 6, 2025, at the Brick City Center for the Arts from 5 - 7 pm. VIP guests will enjoy an evening of art, music, tapas, and libations surrounded by more than 75 pieces of original art. Each VIP guest’s name will be placed in a drawing. Tickets will be drawn randomly, and the guests will be able to select the artwork of their choice in the order their ticket is drawn. The paintings will remain on display through June 21, 2025 when the art will be available for pickup.
One ticket = one original painting!
