We’re bringing back the wildly popular Arty Parties…this time with a twist!

 

Masterpiece Mixers are a vibrant series of fundraising parties hosted by passionate art lovers like you!

 

Our goal is to bring the community together by having hosts throw their own Masterpiece Mixer between September and November. Each host pledges to raise $1,000 in support of LexArts, helping to keep the arts thriving in our community.
