3 Reasons Not to Miss Out on The Art Social
With The Art Social happening in under two months, we wanted to take a moment to highlight just a few of the reasons you should join us for the event (in addition to showing your support for arts and culture in greater Hartford, of course!)!
1. We're in the center of it all in downtown Hartford at The Goodwin Atrium.
One of Hartford's architectural highlights now turned into a destination for locals and tourists alike, The Goodwin will be this year's home to the big event. Guests can also look forward to a one of a kind culinary experience curated by award-winning Chef Tyler Anderson and his team.
2. Celebration of Innovation, Collaboration, and Inspiration.
What exactly are you supporting when you purchase a ticket for The Art Social? Here are just three examples of the arts programming your dollars support:
- Arts + Innovation: You may have seen Bri Dill, founder of Art.Lab on Pratt St. work her magic with alcohol ink over the summer for Art on the Streets. On October 17th, you'll have a chance to take it home!
- Arts + Collaboration: Two of our city's premiere performing arts entities will partner up for a special performance at The Art Social: jazz guitarist extraordinaire Dan Liparini (along with fellow Hartt School of Music and Brookyln-based alumni Alex Tremblay and Eric Hallenbeck); and The Dance Collective, a professional contemporary dance company that centers work by female choreographers.
- Arts + Inspiration: Southington Community Cultural Arts (SoCCA) All Access Art program provides adults with intellectual disabilities connection to their community, creative skills training, and meaningful income. Works from SoCCA will be on display and the program teaching artist will be in attendance.
3. Join us in honoring local heroes!
We're excited to announce the inaugural Arts Inspiration Award, honoring an individual (Jeff Verney) and an organization (United Technologies Corp.) that share our commitment to using the power of the arts to create a stronger community. The recipients demonstrate extraordinary leadership and dedication to supporting the arts and seek to inspire others to join their efforts.
Our biggest fundraiser is back with a new twist, and we'd love for you to see what we've done with the place. RSVP by October 3 at LetsGoArts.org/Social
