Paint the town red with the Salina Art Center!

The Salina Art Center is hosting Paint the Town Red, its annual fundraising gala, Jan. 31 from 6-10 pm at 638 Events, LLC, 638 Francis Ave. The Art Center will be making a special announcement about 2020 programming at the event.

Proceeds from the annual gala support artists-in-residence, exhibitions, and children’s programming for 2020. Tickets include dinner, dancing, and wine and are on sale now at www.salinaartcenter.org.

Guests are invited to ignite the night and enjoy a red carpet event unlike all others. Painted with passion and dipped in culture, the night will cater to the curious. Indulge, imbibe and experience the decadence of bold offerings from local creatives in the culinary, musical, and visual arts.

Chairpersons for this year’s event are Laura Easterday and Connie Burkett. Local Chef Tyler Gallagher, Seraphim Bread, has created a unique menu paired perfectly with wine selections to dazzle guests.

Following dinner, dance the night away to The Blades.

Signature cocktails have been designed by Voo mixologist, Shiloh.

Special attractions include caricature artist BeeJay Hawn and dinner music by Jazz Tangent.

Finally, guests can play games and win great prizes including a bottle of 2019 Signature Barrell Bourbon selected by Brooks Liquor and other elite spirits, exclusive art pieces, gift cards to local businesses, event tickets, gift baskets, and much more all generously donated to support the event.
