Minneapolis Institute of Arts

Presented by the Friends of the Institute

Warm up for the State Fair Midway with zany carnival games inspired by some of the MIA's best-loved artworks! It's all part of Art Perchance, the annual party thrown by the Friends of the Institute to raise money for some very worthy causes.

Play nine art-based carnival games; in true Third Thursday fashion, all games are free. Win great art donated for the event by outstanding local artists; revelers who contribute to the cause earn chances at winning. Frolic to live music by The Alarmists, cocktails at the cash bar, and nonstop fun in the great outdoors of Target Park.

Free; refreshments for sale.

Go VIP! Patron tickets include valet parking, free chances to win art, access to Art Perchance's VIP area featuring a buffet of carnival treats, and a private reception with the artists. Proceeds benefit the many projects of the Friends of the Institute. Click here to reserve your tickets today or call (612) 870-3045.

Art Perchance The Artists:
2010 Participating Artists »
Art is at the heart of Art Perchance. And there would be no art without our talented and generous artists and the galleries who promote artists by donating their art. Most participating artists are from the metro area; others are from greater Minnesota, and a few may be from here, there, and everywhere. The art comes ready to hang (or wear) and is created in a variety of mediums including oil, works on paper, sculpture, jewelry, and wood.
