Columbia Museum of Art Hosting Neon Dreams Fundraiser

Columbia, South Carolina – The Contemporaries of the Columbia Museum of Art (CMA) will host a riveting fundraising event dubbed, “Neon Dreams: A Pop Art Affair,” on the 2nd of March. The gala, scheduled to start from 7 pm to 11 pm and sponsored by Certified SC, is an endeavor to foster artistic expression, reinforce community connection, and promote charity.

Highlighting Creativity and Philanthropy

The “Neon Dreams: A Pop Art Affair” promises attendees an unforgettable experience amid a sea of neon, now an iconic symbol of Pop Art. Guests are encouraged to immerse themselves in the event’s vibrant theme by dressing in neon colors, adding an extra layer of visual richness to the affair.

More than being a display of artistic expression, the event is also a manifestation of the CMA’s commitment to the community. A significant portion of the funds raised from the gala will go into maintaining current exhibits, procuring new ones, as well as community outreach programs such as workshops and lectures aimed at both novice and seasoned art enthusiasts.

An Evening of Excitement and Artistic Engagement

The event features not only exhibits of captivating pop art, but also other immersive activities meant to engage and entertain. Attendees can expect to be enthralled with live music, pop art-inspired performances, and interactive galleries. The gala has something unique for everyone— from trivia games focused on art history to hands-on sculpture sessions, guests will be kept engaged and entertained.

Moreover, the “Neon Dreams: A Pop Art Affair” offers an opportunity for attendees to interact directly with artists, curators, and other key figures in the art world. The event encourages open discussions about the importance, impact, and future of pop art in the wider cultural landscape. This shared experience provides a platform for promoting dialogue and fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for art and the community it serves.

Food, Drinks, and Good Company

Wrapped within the aesthetic pleasures of the evening, guests will be treated to an array of delightful culinary experiences. Catered by some of the finest local culinary groups, a range of appetizers, main dishes, and innovative desserts will be on offer, all designed to mirror the essence of the neon theme.

To complement the exquisite dining experience, a curated selection of fine wines, specialty cocktails inspired by classic and modern pop art, and a variety of other refreshments will be available for guests.
