The Maple Grove Arts Center will host to the Pop of Color Art Gala and Silent Auction, providing an evening of special performances and art exhibits through several performing arts organizations.

The gala, which hopes to raise awareness and funds for Maple Grove’s new Regional Performing and Fine Arts Center, will feature the talents of WCCO news anchor Kim Johnson as the event emcee, North Ballet, Rince Nua Irish Dance, and five-time Minnesota Comedian of the Year Scott Hansen.

Lorrie Link, Executive Director of Maple Grove Arts Center, says, “Our vision is to provide a home for artists of all ages and genres, including musicians, writers, dancers, theatrical performers, and visual artists to showcase their talents and exhibit their work.”

Tickets can be purchased online. Donations are appreciated, and will be used to help support young artists and promote the arts to the public.
