Meander throughout the campus – entering at Bankhead Ave. Grab a quick bite at one of our many food stations and wind your way into the Pavilion – mix, mingle, and move forward to enjoy a specialty cocktail provided by one of our esteemed Mixologists-in-Residence.
Artists. Community.
Cool off inside and experience an array of exhibitions in the main galleries, Sliver Space, and a to-be-revealed gallery expansion. Before you venture out, be sure to amuse your inner COVER lover. Then step outside and venture into any and every studio – peruse, circulate, and SHOP – supporting our acclaimed artists participating in the Studio Artist Program.
