By Susan Chapman, Artclectic Coordinator

In its 28-year history, Artclectic has aimed to be more than just an event that exhibits award-winning, show-stopping, inventive artwork; it’s been an event that brings the USN community together like none other.

Whether you’re a serious art lover or an enthusiastic mingler, the Patrons Party has historically been the launching event for Artclectic Weekend. It's a time to get dressed up, grab a cocktail and delicious food, peruse an elegantly transformed gymnasium full of beautiful art, and visit with friends old and new.

Patrons Party chairs Blake Murray and Liz Stemmler have planned a stunning evening and can't wait to welcome you to kick off the weekend with some Parisian style.

Join us on Thursday, October 17 from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. Until Monday, October 6, we are offering an early bird discount of $100 per ticket, a $50 savings off the regular $150 price.

For those who would like to support innovative teaching at USN, we hope you will join us in becoming a patron at the Innovator level for $250 per person.

We owe special thanks to INSBANK for their generous sponsorship of the Patrons Party.

Tickets can be purchased here. 

Lastly, be sure to pick up a yard sign today from the USNA office, or if you can’t make it, submit a request here, and we’ll find a way to get one for you. Let’s showcase our community spirit and support for innovative teaching! 🙌

  • Back-to-school Popsicle Party cancelled

    Mother Nature is not cooperating for our annual Popsicle Party. Depending on which weather app you use, actual and feels-like temperatures are 98 to 101 and higher. Under these conditions, we would limit student activities, so, in the interest of everyone's health and well-being, we are going to cancell our gathering at the River Campus. There is just not enough shade and certainly no air conditioning to bring relief to hundreds of USN families. Thank you for understanding. We look forward to seeing you in a few days for the start of our new school year.
