An Evening with Artspace
An Evening with ArtSpaceThe Artspace Michigan City team is thrilled to share this update about the May 8 fundraising event, An Evening with Artspace, at the Blue Chip Casino's Stardust Event Center. More than 200 guests attended to hear from local leaders and Artspace about why the project matters in Michigan City and how the community can help meet the final fundraising gap of $500,000. The event raised $10,000 toward this final goal.

And a very special thanks to the event sponsoring organizations: Ahsek Media, Artspace, Blue Chip Casino, Lubeznik Center for the Arts, Michigan City NOW, Michigan City Public Art Committee, Michigan City Urban Enterprise Association, Michigan City/La Porte County Visitors Bureau, NIPSCO, and the Unity Foundation of La Porte County.
