The Invitation
Join cARTie at Downtown Shelton's annual Food Truck Festival for the usual awesomeness of: 30+ food trucks, children’s activities, local vendors + artisans market, live music, New Belgium Pop-Up Bar, free miniature golf, trivia & bingo games, and more!
While you enjoy the Festival, don't forget to slow down and marvel at cARTie's newest exhibition aboard: "Becoming confident and brave with art."
cARTie educators are excited to bring you on a spirited tour aboard AND get you set up at one of our portrait-making stations. Spend as long as you'd like exploring materials with us and making your own, unique self-portrait that showcases what makes you feel most confident and brave.
What to Expect
- Explore our new exhibition, Becoming confident and brave with art
- Connect with cARTie educators
- Create a unique self-portrait
- Walk away feeling a little extra confident and brave
The Fine Details
What I love most about cARTie events is the beautiful energy that is always present and the motivation to learn more and support more.”
