As you arrive, you'll be greeted with a magnifying lens to go aboard our art museum bus and explore our new exhibition, Many Ways of Seeing and Thinking. Then, at 4PM, you'll hear from local leaders and educators about why the arts matter, and help us celebrate the featured student-artists and child co-curators during a special awards ceremony. Don't forget to spread a little heART and soul by creating an art postcard and writing a note to one of our featured student-artists about what struck you in their art.
There will be light snacks, cARTie art-making, mingling, and more! To help support our programming for the 2025-2026 school year, we ask that you consider making a donation as part of your attendance.
Made possible, thanks to: The Gilded Whitlocks, The Valley Community Foundation, Smoke and Hat Press, IRCODE
