It’s benefit season! Artist-run Momenta Art will be holding its annual benefit on May 7, from 7-9 pm.
The annual benefit is always a good party; Momenta’s raison d’être is to promote the work of emerging and under-represented artists, and they’ve been doing it since 1986. Come out and show your love for the art, and maybe you’ll be the one to discover the next big thing!
