It’s possible to attend Artclectic every single day and have a different experience. Bring your spouse, your parents, your book club, your students … there’s something for everyone at this celebration of art and community at USN.
It's also fun to volunteer — serve as a docent during Education Day, help buyers make their purchases, feed the artists snacks and dinners, decorate for the parties, paint our panels, and display pieces. Your help would be much appreciated for an hour or so or all day.
Most importantly, Artclectic supports innovative teaching by providing funds for our extraordinary teachers to attend workshops, explore new ways of teaching, and bring back innovative and visionary ideas to share with our students and our community.
