The Art League of Ocean City invites the community to step back in time for an unforgettable evening of creativity and celebration at its upcoming fundraiser, Night at the Colosseum, taking place on Saturday, April 18, 2026.

Inspired by the grandeur and excitement of ancient Rome, this unique event will transform the evening into a lively gathering of "Gladiators for the Arts," all coming together to support arts programming in the Ocean City community.

Guests will play a part in crowning the coveted "Champion of the Arts," while enjoying a night filled with entertainment, laughter, and meaningful impact. The festivities will be held from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Residence Inn by Marriott Ocean City, providing the perfect setting for this engaging experience.

Attendees can look forward to a vibrant lineup of activities throughout the evening. Live entertainment will keep the energy high, while a silent auction will offer a variety of unique items, including artwork, experiences, and local treasures.

Guests will also enjoy Olympic-style follies and playful competitions that highlight the spirit and creativity of the event's featured participants. Mediterranean mezze will be included with admission, giving guests a taste of the evening's theme, and a cash bar will be available.

Seating will be open, encouraging a relaxed and social atmosphere where attendees can mingle and connect. In keeping with the Roman theme, guests are encouraged to dress the part in togas or tunics, though it is not required.

Comfortable footwear is strongly recommended, as the evening's activities call for steady footing-making sandals or sneakers a practical and stylish choice. Beyond the entertainment, Night at the Colosseum serves a greater purpose.

Proceeds from the event directly support the Art League of Ocean City's mission to provide arts education, exhibitions, and community programming that benefit thousands of residents and visitors each year.

Tickets are priced at $75 per person, offering an opportunity to enjoy a memorable evening while making a meaningful contribution to the arts. Don't miss this chance to celebrate creativity, community, and a touch of ancient-inspired fun.
