The holidays may be over, but the Volcano Art Center is just beginning to celebrate the roaring 2020s.
VAC invites the public to the 16th annual “Love the Arts” fundraiser from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8, at the Niaulani Campus in Volcano village. The annual gala is the main event to raise funds for the center, which offers classes, exhibits, workshops, and creative arts experiences in a unique inspiring environment.
This year’s theme is celebrating “The Roaring 2020s,” highlighted by unique decorations, decadent food, fine wines and beer, and dancing. Live and silent auctions provide attendees an opportunity to bid on artwork, jewelry, hotel stays, restaurants, local products, services and gift certificates for businesses and attractions.
Tickets are $70 ($65 for current VAC members) and are available for purchase at the Volcano Art Center’s Niaulani Campus in Volcano village, Volcano Art Center Gallery in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, by calling (808) 967-8222, and online at www.volcanoartcenter.org./lta.
Each Love the Arts ticket also provides free admission to the Love the Arts Valentine’s Day Dance, held the following weekend from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 15. Learn the Charleston and the Lindy Hop while enjoying live music by the Hep Cats. Tickets for this event are $15 ($10 for VAC members), or free with a Love the Arts ticket.
