Our annual fundraiser is intentionally designed to connect EXPO Creatives, local leaders in the visual arts community, and collectors, fostering meaningful relationships that drive the arts forward. Funds raised will support our bi-annual goal of $150,000, providing essential grants and programming for local artists and curators.
