On Wednesday, Mercyhurst University hosted their second annual Arty Party Showcase.

It was an event for the School of the Arts and allowed the community to come and support emerging artists.

There was a silent auction, basket raffle, an art lottery, and a showcase performance, with some of the performances being musical theatre numbers and ballet dancers.

All funds from this event go toward the Excellence in the Arts Fund, which students have applied to and been awarded for research grants, student audition funds, and other scholarly needs.
