We had a fantastic time last week at Crooked Crab in Odenton for Cheers to AACPL. I missed out on the special pint glasses but did sample the special brew and did my part to raise some funds for the library foundation. (I will be on the hunt again at the remaining events, I hope!)
I am a big fan of public libraries. I even worked briefly at one when we lived in Southwestern Virginia and I loved every minute of it. I am also a big fan of music and live performances. And what Anne Arundel County Public Library and Maryland Hall have partnered up for this year just thrills my spirit. Plus, who doesn’t love a giveaway?
AACPL and Maryland Hall have joined forces to bring arts to everyone with a special ticket giveaway for seven upcoming shows. The initiative will award 28 lucky library cardholders with two tickets to one of the upcoming seven Maryland Hall Presents series performances. Four winners will be selected to receive two tickets before each of the season’s shows.
“Public libraries are community connectors for not only books but for resources and experiences,” said AACPL CEO Skip Auld. “We help level the playing field so all people can access opportunities to experience, art, music, dance and history in our branches and beyond.”
Upcoming Maryland Hall Presents performances eligible as part of the program include the Landfill Harmonic Recycled Orchestra of Cateura, a jazz tribute to 100 years of Disney, Urban Circus 360 ALLSTARS, dancers and aerialists from No Gravity, The Magic Schoolbus, Bharatanatyam Dance Company, Nava Dance Theatre, and the Kulu Mele African Dance & Drum Ensemble.
All cardholders have to do is fill out an online form. Drawings will be conducted three weeks before each performance. Each cardholder can only win once per Maryland Hall Presents season and one entry per person. Additionally, Maryland Hall has provided a discount code (CheckOutMDH) for $5 off the cost of a ticket for library customers to purchase additional tickets.
“Maryland Hall is so happy to be partnering with the Anne Arundel County Public Library to provide tickets to each of our Maryland Hall Presents shows. For each show, eight lucky residents will enjoy free tickets! We believe this is yet another way we are making Maryland Hall accessible while providing Art for All,” said Executive Director Jackie Coleman.
Talk about a powerhouse couple. 😉
Have a great week, mamas! And if you see cool things (photos, events, ideas), send them my way Kathy@annapolismomsmedia.com or tag us on socials Facebook: @annapolismoms and Instagram @annapolis_moms.
