Omi International Arts Center – Light Into Night 2020

Screen Shot 2020-09-08 at 4.15.54 PM

Art Omi’s annual Light Into Night upstate fundraiser has been fully reimagined and will debut a whole new format which invites attendees to revel in all that Art Omi has to offer!

On Saturday, September 12, you are invited to a picnic like no other in the Sculpture & Architecture Park. Small groups will be stationed at private zones, anchored by artworks in the Park, where they enjoy fine food and drink from local vendors while socializing in the open air. Spots are available for groups of 4-8 people—or just buy a ticket for you, a family member, or a friend, and Omi will provide the perfect spot to socially distance while still being part of the fun! In keeping with the spirit of past Light Into Night events, the afternoon will include surprising performances, and a special treat to send you on your way home.

DATE/TIME: Saturday September 12, 2020 / 4pm
