We’re looking forward to celebrating with you at our farewell event, The Art of You: Carrying It Forward. Join us September 25 from 6-9pm at The Whim, where we’ll have a chance to connect, reminisce, and highlight the joy and power of our last 20 years. With good food, playful arts activities, and two decades of art, portraits, and history on display, we’ll send Upstream Arts onwards in style.
What to expect:
From 6-7pm, you can socialize, check out art and photographs from over the years, engage with Upstream Arts activities, and follow the bingo card for our Social Skills Scavenger Hunt. Enjoy delicious food from Brasa catering, including gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian and vegan options. A cash bar will also be available.
At 7pm, we’ll have brief remarks from Upstream Arts co-founders Julie and Matt Guidry, alongside other Upstream Arts players. We’ll also draw winning names for our scavenger hunt prizes.
Afterwards, we’ll continue to connect, remember, and dance the night away until 9pm.
Huge thanks to our in-kind donors, whose generosity provides our prizes:
A gift card to Moon Palace Books
An art supply basket from Wet Paint Artist Materials
A gift certificate to Northern Fires Pizza
Two gift coupons from Blick Art Supplies
