For a contemporary reimagining of a metal ball, join UICA for OddBall: Metal.

Dress in metal — whatever that may mean to you, whatever form that takes, however you’re inspired — and enjoy a cocktail hour and seated dinner featuring fine food and drink. The highly anticipated annual gala welcomes art enthusiasts, emerging and established creatives, and visionary industry supporters for a night of immersive entertainment.

This year, the revelatory event marks the official opening of UICA's Autumn Exhibition Series featuring Kennedy Yanko: "Before Words," Mark Rumsey: "Memory Map: Roof Line - State Street," and Larry Cook: "On the Scene." This event is the city’s premier contemporary arts fundraiser. Event proceeds support UICA’s exhibitions, films, and programming year-round.
