The Museum of Art Fort Collins kicked off its beloved Masks fundraiser and exhibition with a packed VIP reception. Now in its 21st year, this popular exhibit features 224 masks created by more than 250 local artists and community members and will run through June 6. Masks is the museum’s signature fundraising and community art event: Its purpose is to raise funds through an online auction that brings vital support to the museum’s exhibitions and educational programs by engaging the community in a unique, approachable, diverse and creative art experience. Over the past two decades, 3,500 masks have been created, and more than $2 million has been raised.
