Friends of the Muscatine Art Center
Annual Ice Cream Social
The Friends of the Muscatine Art Center will hold the Annual Ice Cream Social on Sunday, June 27 from 1 to 5pm. Special live entertainment will be featured throughout the day including:
1:30pm- Muscatine Civic Chorale
2:15pm- Wesley Winds
3:00pm- The Creepin’ Charlies
Two generous donations will provide free children’s activities. Pony Cart Rides and Moon Jump are being sponsored by HNI Charitable Foundation and art & craft activities are being organized by the Musser Public Library and sponsored by the Daniel Gerberich Memorial Fund. “The Ice Cream Social has traditionally been a fundraiser for education programming by the Friends of the Muscatine Art Center, and this year our visitors will still be contributing to the Friends through the purchase of pies and ice cream, but because of these generous contributions families will also have a great opportunity to come and participate in a really fun day at a nominal cost. Everyone is aware of the tough economy and we are extremely grateful to be able to offer so many activities free of charge this year” – Barb Christensen, Director, Muscatine Art Center.
As in past years, the ice cream for the ICE CREAM SOCIAL is being generously provided by Precision Foods Inc., a subsidiary of Muscatine Foods Corporation’s family of companies.
Springs Sprockets & Pulleys: the Mechanical Sculpture of Steve Gerberich; and art by David Hockney from the Robert Reinsager Estate will be on view in the galleries.
The Muscatine Art Center is funded in part by a grant from the Iowa Arts Council as a Community Leadership Partner.
