How can you participate in Artclectic 2023? We’ve got lots of options:
  • Put a sign in your yard. Yard signs are available in the USNA Office. Stop by and grab one or two.
  • Volunteer for a shift. There are so many fun ways to help out during the week, including helping artists set up, decorating for the parties, cashiering, and face painting. A couple of hours would be much appreciated. You can sign up here.
  • Walk the gallery. Almost half of our artists are new, and many more have not participated in years. The artists love to answer questions and talk about their art. Take a peek at the art here.
Ask your student about Education Week. Featured artist James Threalkill will participate in student demonstrations all week leading up to the always popular gallery tours on Friday, October 20. We bet your student has picked out a favorite or two.

Buy a Patrons Party ticket. The Patrons Party is Thursday, October 19 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. This promises to be a fabulous event, full of great food, festive drinks, lively music, and fun people. Plus, you get first dibs on purchasing art. Tuesday, October 17 is the last day to buy tickets in advance, but you can also purchase tickets at the door. Here’s the link to purchase tickets now.

Attend ARTbash. This party is Friday, October 20 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public. Grab some friends and stop by for an hour or so. And, for families attending ARTbash, the Habitat for Humanity Club will care for USN students in grades K-6 in the Gordon Multipurpose Room between 6 and 9 p.m. Complete this form to register for the service.

Bring your family to Discovery Day. There will be so much to do on Saturday, October 21. There will be activities to keep families busy all day, plus there will be free coffee and donuts in the morning and lots of lunch options for purchase.

We can’t wait to see you.
