Enjoy a fun evening filled with art and blues while helping fund research for Down syndrome during the second annual Night of Art and Blues from 7:30 to 11:30 p.m. May 11.
The event will take place in Heritage Hall at the Joyce Center on the University of Notre Dame campus.
Organizers expect more than 200 people will attend and enjoy an open bar, plenty of great food, live blues music and a festive silent auction.
Tickets are $75 for one person or $125 for two.
The primary feature for the silent auction will be original high-quality art created by people with Down syndrome, often working directly with local artists.
Last year’s event raised more than $25,000 for Research Down Syndrome, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bettering the lives of those living with Down syndrome and their families.
