MONROE — The Monroe Arts Center (MAC) announced that it will again offer a special holiday tradition from 1-5 p.m. on Dec. 5. Five local homes/businesses have been selected and will be open to the public to tour during this event.

Homes will be showcasing their personal touches for the holidays as an expression of how each homeowner celebrates their personal spaces. Whether it be a tradition of beautifully decorated trees, winter bliss or an artful home and workspace, MAC leadership is thrilled to have a selection of houses/business spaces to tour as a fundraising event for the arts.

“We are grateful to Sue Barrett, Julie Buchanan, and Jane Monahan for giving their time to plan this historic event for the Monroe Arts Center,” said MAC Executive Director Marie Perry. “During the 50th anniversary year celebration of the Monroe Arts Center, we brought this historic holiday tradition back and the public loved it. I am excited to do it again with the help and expertise of these committee members.”

Much planning has gone into working with the home and business owners to create this year’s fundraising event. Tickets go on sale on Nov. 1 on MAC’s website: www.monroeartscenter.com. For $30, ticket goers will have access to all five properties. Early bird pricing ends on Thanksgiving Day, and tickets increase by $5 after Thanksgiving.

Watch MAC’s social media on Facebook and Instagram for sneak peeks about the five properties and bring the holidays home while supporting the arts.
