Fun and Philanthropy Collide During The Amazeum's Ungala

NWA Daily

Have fun for a great cause during the Scott Family Amazeum's UnGala presented by Nabholz, the museum's annual FUNdraiser for ages 21+, where you can play like a kid, eat, drink, and experience one-of-a-kind activities that spark creativity and curiosity, on Apr 21, from 6-10p.

  • Never too old to play: There will be so many hands-on experiences to try, like light painting, wood turning, percussion art, a build-your-own-scent bouquet station, and even an adult-size ball pit. When you need a break from the activities, enjoy the all-you-can-eat food truck buffet and tipsy chemistry cocktails presented by Spectrum Brands!
  • For the kids: The Ungala supports the Amazeum's nonprofit mission to keep the cost of general admission low, host Priceless Nights, and provide professional development opportunities for local educators.
