40 North goes punk: In photos

40 North, the Champaign County Arts Council hosted UNTITLED, which definitely was a one-of-a-kind, premier late-night fundraiser on Saturday night at the Orpheum Theatre. Celebrating the arts of Champaign County and 40 North’s mission of cultivating creativity, the event brought together art lovers, artists, supporters, and the general public for a night of artful entertainment. All of the proceeds from the night went to 40 North and its programs including the Boneyard Arts Festival, ACE Awards, the Eric Show, Friday Night Live, Sky Gallery, MTD ART, and more.

There was special performances from guest DJs including Jason Dunavan, Justin Scofield, Ward Gollings, Nico Huade, Greg Jaeger, and Olivia Winston. For food, there was punk rock snacks including mohawk skewers and a nacho bar, open bar, and coffee drinks, catered by Micheal’s. Weiskamp was there doing an interactive, custom screen-printed t-shirt sale. In addition to booze, food, and punk rock, there was mobile escape room by CU Adventures in Time and Space, an original art sale featuring local artists, interactive mural, and a Whiskey-Wine Wall raffle

This is truly the most fun fundraiser I’ve been to and I’ll definitely be going back next year.
