It’s Blue Yule time again at the McKinney Avenue Contemporary! The MAC’s fundraising event features handmade ornaments by our member-artists and art patrons. Doors open at 5:30pm on Saturday, December 5th. The party stops at 7:30pm. Early birds will have the best choice of ornaments! Blue Yule supports The MAC, raising funds for its 2010 artistic and educational programming.
Free beads, beer and bubbly! Show your blue bling while you sip a cup of blue yule punch that will keep you howling until the next blue moon! And, have your picture taken with the blue Madonna while you dance with DJ Regan Parenton’s grooves!
Attendants will enjoy blue bling, the infamous Mystery Blue Punch, booze, and TO is sending its favorite blue pop-corn, and a silent auction!
The MAC is offering a $250.00 cash prize for the artist or patron with the coolest ornament. Honorary judge will be Kenneth Craighead Director of Craighead-Green Gallery. The winners of “The Best Blue Yule Ornament Contest” will receive prizes.
As part of the fundraising, The MAC will launch a new option on its website, where people can donate any amount of money on-line.
