The Fountain Hills Artists’ Gallery is hosting “Mask’querade,” a Mardi Gras evening Friday, March 14, with doors opening at 5 p.m.

This event will serve as a special opportunity to meet neighbors and be inspired by the art of 30-plus local artists, according to a press release.

In the spirit of Mardi Gras, the two-hour reception will feature artists in costumes of their own design. Visitors are invited to dress in costume as well.

A prize for Best of Show will be announced at 6:30 p.m. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be prepared by the artists and door prizes will be drawn.

Create your own mask

Blank masks are now available at the Gallery for guests to pick up (while supplies last, one per visitor) to create their own masks ahead of the event.
