The festivities will include a delectable dinner, toe-tapping music, silent and live auctions, dancing, and self-guided tours of I-Park’s art-filled campus— illuminated for this event. The party kicks off at 5 p.m. with wine, beer and light refreshments, as guests are invited to mingle with September’s artists-in-residence, visit the re- cently completed artist’s studios, and explore a few of the illuminated walking trails weaving through I-Park’s bucolic campus.
