ARTPOP
ARTPOP was a HUGE success!
Bravo to all of our incredible patrons and sponsors who helped us raise over $260,000 for student scholarships! Your support directly impacts the lives and futures of emerging artists and designers.
A heartfelt thank you to our Honorary Chairs Patty and Jerry Reece, Event Chairs Scott Heidmann and Ken Petti and the entire ARTPOP Host Committee for creating such a magical and unforgettable evening.
This event would not be possible without the incredible support of our Sponsors listed below - thank you for believing in the power of art and design.
Mark your calendar! ARTPOP is back on May 7, 2026.
