The Partnership is hard at work getting ready for the annual Gala in the Park this Saturday evening. While tickets for the Gala are sold out, after party tickets are still available! Learn more about Boogie in the Bumper Car -- bound to be the after party of the season -- and purchase tickets here.
The morning of the Gala, tune in to an extra special Art Clinic Online. Former ACO guest artist Ephriam Rubenstein is back by popular demand to delve deeper into his work with chalk pastels and announce some exciting collaborations planned with Stone Tower Studio this fall!
Also Saturday morning, pop into the Ballroom Back Room for this week's $15 DanceFit class! You'll learn about intuitive movement known to help people get out of their minds and into their bodies.
On Sunday, Photoworks will be hosting its monthly Coffee and Critique. Learn more!
This week is your last chance to catch Alice in Wonderland at the Puppet Co. The final performance will be at 1:00pm on Sunday, the 19th. Get your tickets now!
