Spending time with your family is vital. So, what better way to enjoy each other’s company than at an artistic, family-themed benefit? The CMA Comes Alive for Families: In the Golden Age is set for Saturday, March 2 from 5-8 p.m. at the Columbus Museum of Art.
The Museum will come alive with whimsical experiences including the return of a collaborative LEGO construction build, art-making and gallery tours. And what’s a benefit without food and music? A dance party, hosted by the Columbus-based youth arts program TRANSIT ARTS, and a delicious dinner buffet will be available. Wear your favorite party dress or bow tie, fancy and fun attire is highly encouraged.
In the end, this fun-filled evening is still a benefit. The funds raised will support the CMA ‘s effort to keep admission free on Sundays for the central Ohio community.
