The Anderson Museum of Art (AMOA) is celebrating summer with an exhibition opening, a First Friday celebration, and sharing special Christmas in July savings on venue rentals.
First Friday on July 7
Visit AMOA when you’re in Downtown Anderson for the monthly First Friday event. In celebration of World Chocolate Day, AMOA will offer visitors tasty treats from Uranus Indiana.
The First Friday celebration will also include the official opening of the 12th annual Figures of Speech Exhibition. Figures of Speech, which runs through Sept. 2, includes works from more than 30 artists from across the Midwest. This year’s judge, Larry Lawson, has selected Best of Show, first, second, third, and several honorable mention awards. Each will be acknowledged during the opening reception awards presentation at 6:30 p.m.
First Friday will also include AMOA’s A.R.T.S. – A Reason To Shop – featuring local artisans, crafters, consultants, and vendors. Come out to shop local. To learn more about A.R.T.S or to participate, visit andersonart.org/arts.
Christmas in July specials
To celebrate the warm weather and sunshine, AMOA offers a Christmas in July special: a 10 percent discount for any 2023 or 2024 venue rental booked in July. If you know of someone looking for a venue for their wedding, baby shower, birthday party, or graduation party, encourage them to take advantage of the savings. The 10 percent off will be honored for corporate holiday parties. It’s never too early to start planning for upcoming celebrations.
