“A Chair Affair,” a fundraising gala that helps support the Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville, a cultural resource of the University of North Florida, will take place from 6:30 p.m. to midnight, Saturday, March 12.  

“A Chair Affair” will be a night filled with excitement where the museum transforms into a hip, modern and vibrant nightclub, ensuring that the hottest seat in town that night will be at MOCA. Happy Vodka will be pouring the drinks, while Colleen Shannon, the hottest DJ in the country, will be setting the tone on the dance floor with fun surprises for everyone throughout the night.
