ArtsFusion

The first-ever collaborative event hosted by the Marblehead Arts Association and the Marblehead Festival of Arts is a gala, to benefit these premier arts organizations, of the North Shore. The event will feature libations, along with a delicious array of hearty hors d-oeuvres from Marco Salerno, owner of Exclusive Chefs and head of catering for Palmer's Restaurant.  Party-goers can participate in a silent auction, interactive art experiences and dance to music from white-hot band, Shuffle Mode.  A live auction will be hosted by WBZ's Anthony Silva and will feature works from fabulous local artists, including Beverly Seamans, Norman LaLiberte, Anthony Padula, Charlie Allen and Elaine Daly. Also, up for auction will be the final work produced from the 35-year creative partnership that photographer, Herb Goldberg shared with painter, Nordia Kay.

Tickets are $55 and are available online at http://artsfusion.brownpapertickets.com. They can also be purchased at Arnould Gallery and Framing, Marblehead Arts Association, Shubie's Marketplace, and Spirit of '76 Bookstore.
