Austin, Texas (April 20, 2009) — The Austin Children’s Museum will host its first evening fundraiser, “Imaginarium,” May 2 at 7:00 p.m. in the historic Browning hangar at Mueller. Mueller has been selected as the future home for the Museum, and planning is already underway with construction expected to begin in 2010.
The Imaginarium gala promises to be one of the year’s most exciting events with a vintage carnival theme that includes entertainment by the Blue Lapis Light Aerial Dance Company. Their performance from the ceiling of the Browning hangar is not to be missed! Also performing will be the Sangre del Sol fire dancers, stilt walkers, fortune tellers, face painters, jugglers, clowns, carnival games, and more.
The evening gala is a new format for the Museum, which has hosted a luncheon for the past twelve years. Laura Loudamy and Katherine Wallin are the event co-chairs.
In order to raise funds for the Museum’s ongoing and future projects, there will be an auction with over 100 unique offerings that includes a children’s hand-crafted playhouse, a Baja vacation, a tasting for twelve in one of Twin Liquors’ private wine rooms, a private movie showing and dinner for 25 from Alamo Drafthouse.
Ticket prices start at $150 for individual or $2,500 for a table of 10. For information and tickets, please visit: http://www.austinkids.org/imaginarium.aspx.
