7:00 – 10:00 pm – Ticketed
Support your artist-run center by joining us for our annual Inc. Squared fundraiser! An evening of art, music, dancing, and good times with friends! Attend early to get first dibs on works created by our talented membership and local/regional artists. All works are priced affordably $200 (medium sized work) $100 (small work) and will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. Don’t miss out! 

New this year, there will also be a silent auction with great items and services to bid on.
We are are looking for prizes and services for our silent auction. If you have a business such as hairdressing, massage, reflexology offering an auction prize can be a great way to market your services to a wide audience and gain new customers.
