Festival of the Arts Preview Party Fundraiser (Friday, May 22, 2026)

Fri, 22 May 2026 22:30:00 GMT

Join us for an unforgettable evening at our Festival of the Arts Preview Party—a lively celebration to kick off one of the South Shore’s most beloved community events!

From 6:30–10:00 PM, experience a night full of art, music, food, and fun—open to everyone, whether you’re an artist or simply someone who loves a great night out.

Dance the night away with high-energy live music from Booty Vortex, enjoy delicious catered bites from H COLE Club, and explore two exciting art exhibitions showcasing incredible regional talent.

Be part of the creative action with our live “paint around” event, where five local artists will collaborate in real time—passing canvases and building off each other’s work right before your eyes. Try your luck with exciting raffle items, grab a drink from the bar, and soak in the vibrant, welcoming atmosphere.

Parking is easy with shuttle buses running from Eames Way School, so you can relax and enjoy the evening from start to finish.

Whether you're coming for the music, the art, the food, or just a fun night out with friends, this is a party you won’t want to miss. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating—and supporting—the arts on the South Shore while helping our community continue to grow and thrive.
