From wine tasting to salsa parties, the Greater
Lafayette Museum of Art offers a variety of different activities for
the community to explore during its Fusion Friday events.
Presented on the last Friday of every month, this
month’s Fusion Friday offers Lafayette comedy in the form of the
improv group Crazy Monkeys. The Greater Lafayette Museum of Art in Lafayette
will be open from 8-10 tonight.
Considering the assortment of themes for Fusion
Fridays, the event is said to appeal to a diverse crowd, from college
students to middle-aged community members.
Included in this month's Fusion Friday will be
free food from Jane's Deli, a free coffee bar from Java Roaster, an
alcohol cash bar from Sgt. Preston's and a performance by Crazy Monkeys,
who perform improvisational humor much like that of the television show,
"Who's Line is it Anyway?"
This will not be Crazy Monkeys' first appearance
at the art museum, however; the group was also a popular feature three
years ago.
"It's a fun challenge," said Amy Piskorowski, a
senior in the School of Engineering and leader of the group.
The Crazy Monkeys is continuously performing completely
new shows, often relying on suggestions from the audience. Made up of
Purdue students, the group even picked its name after asking a waitress
in a local bar.
"They were just hilarious," said Kate O'Brien,
membership and special events coordinator for the museum.
Along with food, drinks and entertainment, guests
are welcome to tour the museum and enjoy the exhibits.
One of the displays O'Brien recommends admiring
is the "New Artists" exhibit, which is made up of art created by high
school students. "Their talent is just fabulous," she said.
· Tickets for Fusion Friday are $5 for members
of the art museum and $7 for non-members.
