Anderson Museum of Art (AMOA) will extend its hours until 8 p.m. on May 5 in celebration of Cinco De Mayo. This will be in conjunction with many downtown businesses taking part in the Anderson Art Alliance’s May First Friday.
“AMOA is a proud member of the Anderson Art Alliance, and we were excited to collaborate on this special First Friday,” AMOA Executive Director Mandee Mikulski said. “Our partnering organizations hope to welcome lots of people downtown to celebrate Cinco De Mayo and support our Downtown Anderson organizations.”
Several groups are participating in May’s First Friday. The Anderson Museum of Art and A Town Center will both pass out mini pinatas for kids (while supplies last), and downtown businesses will pass out candy to fill the pinatas. Dickman Town Center will offer lots of family fun with a live dance performance from Ballet Folklorico and the opportunity to take a swing at a big pinata filled with candy sponsored by Anderson Indiana Main Street.
Additional details about May’s First Friday can be found on Facebook.
Visit AMOA for A.R.T.S. (A Reason to Shop). Several vendors will be on-site offering unique gifts just in time for Mother’s Day. The AMOA Shop will be open throughout the evening. To learn more about A.R.T.S or to participate visit andersonart.org/arts.
Along with the pinatas, AMOA will also offer families the chance to make Mexican paper flowers to decorate their pinatas, put in their hair, or share. Visitors can also enjoy AMOA’s two exhibitions, IN-Focus Photography Competition and Exhibit and Technicolor Dreams. Both will be open to the public free of charge.
