Time for a downtown adventure with the whole family.
“Artful Adventure,” the annual family-friendly fundraiser held by the Contemporary Arts Center, invites families, artists and creatives of all ages to come explore.
The day combines Family Fest experiences with special artist activations, collaborative art projects, food, music and interactive gallery experiences throughout the museum.
“Artful Adventure reflects everything CAC strives to be – welcoming, creative, multigenerational, and deeply connected to our community,” said Carolyn Hefner, CAC’s Chief of External Affairs, in a statement. “This event creates meaningful opportunities for families to experience contemporary art together while directly supporting the exhibitions and educational programs that make CAC such an important civic and cultural resource.”
