Arts Enchanted Evening is a progressive dinner party that aims to showcase the McConnell Arts Center’s beautiful facilities and arts offerings. As guests move through the building they will have a sampling of heavy hor d'oeuvres in the decorated rooms.

Food will be provided by Steven's Catering.

Complimentary beer and wine will be served throughout the building and then evening will end with a champagne toast!

The dress code for the evening is cocktail attire, or costumes to match the theme.
