Wet Paint 2026

August 8, 2026 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm

SAVE THE DATE!

Join us Saturday, August 8th, from 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM for an art-filled day of bidding, art-making, music, and more throughout our creative campus!

In the days leading up to Wet Paint 2026, consider joining us at one of our Artist Days!

Artist Days are informal art-making sessions organized by the Museum and hosted by community artists. Please note that these are not formal classes, but an opportunity for artists to engage and create together leading up to Wet Paint.

**Artists must provide their own materials. All mediums are welcome! Attending an Artist Day is not required to participate in Wet Paint- we gladly welcome all donations!**
