It's time to get out of the house and shake off cabin fever at Benefit 2016! This year's theme -- "Press Bid to Play" -- celebrates InLiquid's third year. For those unfamiliar with the organization, InLiquid supports and promotes visual artists while acting as a hub for the region's arts community. Support this great organization by bidding on contemporary art at a range of price points and bring something new home for your collection. For the young professional, Benefit 2016 includes a special Friday night event (5 - 9 p.m.), allowing you to be one of the first to view the items available.

Almost everything in our world is made of stuff -- material science and engineering is the study of that stuff and how we use it in everyday life. Bring out the family to explore how things are made and utilized. Try out cool science experiments like running across liquid, making ice cream in seconds and bendable glass! This year's five themes include communication, earth, energy, health and sports.
