FLINT, MI.- The FIA will host a celebration to unveil the installation of the Flint Institute of Arts Persian Chandelier on Saturday, June 6 from 7 to 11pm.

Guests will be entertained throughout the evening with live music, aerial/acrobatic performers, human statues, jugglers, stilt walkers and more. Tickets for the party are $100.00 per person.
