Held at The Crucible, this artistic evening of fire and light begins with cocktails, followed by a delicious dinner, and fiery performances. Where else can you dine underneath a fire cloud and experience a spectacular performance designed by Crucible Founder Michael Sturtz? The evening continues with an exceptional live auction, where you can expand your art collection by bidding on stunning works by prominent local artists.
The 2018 Fire & Light Soiree and Art Auction, our signature fundraiser, sustains The Crucible’s one-of-a-kind industrial arts education programs. You can make an exciting impact while celebrating in blazing style.
