Artclectic is October 24-26

There's something for everyone at this year's Artclectic: fabulous art, free parties, a fancy gala, a student art show, live music and Halloween crafts. Don't miss it.
By Michelle Rosen, USNA Communications Co-Chair

It's almost time for USN's annual three-day art celebration, which transforms Sperling Gym into a dazzlingly elegant art gallery showcasing art for every budget, room, and taste. 
Save the dates Thursday, October 24 through Saturday, October 26, and make plans to attend one of our several parties in the gallery, or just come by any time Friday, October 25 or Saturday, October 26 to shop and take home something beautiful.

In addition to our kick-off Patrons Party on Thursday, October 24 and ARTbash on Friday, October 25, we've added a fun lunch and lecture by photographer Anouk Krantz on Friday, October 25. Plus our student art show returns with a reception after school on the same day.  And new to POPclectic, the pop-up artisan market with goods under $250, we've added live music to our already fun-filled day of children's activities and Halloween crafts.

In its 23rd year, Artclectic benefits USN's Fund for Innovative Teaching, which provides grants for teacher training to enrich classroom life. Check out the event lineup and artists at artclectic.org, or follow us on Facebook or Instagram.
