Open House

cARTie is fueling up for another year of powerful art museum education in elementary schools and preschools with limited access to the arts. Before we drive off, we want to bring our community together to celebrate the student-artists, leaders, and community members who made this year's exhibition come to life.

Come one, come all, and join us for an Open House and Student Awards Ceremony!

​For two hours, we'll bring you on an exclusive tour of our new exhibition, involve you in our celebratory awards ceremony, and give you a taste of the programming we're bringing to young children.

Your suggested donation ticket purchase goes directly toward cARTie programming in and across schools without arts access.

​Here's how we'll spend time celebrating:

​5PM — Arrive & Explore

​welcome drinks, snacks, exhibition exploration, time to connect

​5:15PM — Opening Remarks

​a collective moment to celebrate all that went into cARTie's new, traveling exhibition

​5:30PM — Awards Ceremony

​6PM — Art-Making Provocations

a series of art projects and invitations, for you to choose from

​6:40PM — Closing Ceremony

​a final reflection and expression of congratulations
