Forget the olives, and put some culture in your ARTini.

The Cayuga County Arts Council is holding a fundraiser tonight to help ensure they will be able to continue with programs like the Adams Series concert recital, the new year's celebration at Casey Park, local artist exhibits and the restoration of the Schine Theater, said Cayuga County Arts Council president Dia Carabajal.

The Auburn Public Theater was donated for the event, which will include cocktails, a display by local artists, a silent auction and performances by Diana Jacobs and the Absolute Dance Company, said ARTini chairperson Elisa Hunt.

“It should be an evening of people just enjoying themselves,” she said. “It's something a little different than the normal dinner and silent auction.”

Carabajal said the event is expected to wind down around 9 p.m., but the funds raised should help throughout the year.
