When you join us in person at our annual fundraiser, The Art of We: Are All Connected, you’ll have lots of fun ways to get involved and support Upstream Arts. (Don’t forget to register for a free ticket today!)
In addition to the free arts activities, you can pay to play at the Emotion Prize Wall! Bring cash and win one of the exciting mystery prizes just by choosing a weather and emotion.
For just $15, you can pick from a wall of hidden prizes, which includes gift cards to delicious restaurants, tickets to theater shows, craft beer and spirits, certificates to bookstores, museums, and other fabulous experiences, all valued from $20-$240. (See the full list below.)
Simply pay to play, then introduce yourself in classic Upstream Arts style, describing how you feel with an emotion and a type of weather. For instance, you may say “Today I’m feeling like excited lightning.” Then we’ll look at the grid of emotions and weather, and give you the prize at the intersection of “excited” and “lightning.”
You’re guaranteed to win one of the following excellent prizes:
