Get Lucky Art Show Update
Happy new year! 2019 is off to a good start, with the lunar new year less than a month away (February 5th marks the Year of the Pig.) With that in mind, we wanted to announce that we’ll be taking a break this year from putting on Get Lucky Art Show. We’re taking some time to recharge and refresh (anyone in the events industry knows how much work it takes to produce events.) Thank you so much to those who’ve joined us at past events and reached out to ask about it. Please check back this fall for announcements about 2020. Better yet, subscribe to our newsletter for the latest (right in the sidebar.) If you have any questions or comments, we welcome you to reach out by email and drop us a message!
In the meantime, enjoy these highlights from our past two shows. They were truly magical – the incredible art, talented artists, local businesses, sponsors, and volunteers. We could not be more grateful for you all.
