Artpace depends on the success of our annual gala, The Happening, to sustain our free and dynamic programming. All proceeds benefit Artpace’s residencies and public and educational programming. Artpace firmly believes in the transformative power of creative expression. With your support, Artpace Makes Art Happen.
The theme for The Happening 2018, La Primavera, is inspired by our rich South Texas community and enchanting landscapes. We invite all friends and supporters of contemporary art to join us on this special evening for cocktails and entertainment in a flourishing South Texas gardenscape with dinner under the stars followed by Artpace’s Rooftop After Party. With the San Antonio skyline as your backdrop, we’ll keep you dancing until the morning hours! Please join us and invite your friends and colleagues to celebrate La Primavera by sponsoring a table or purchasing tickets.
The Happening will be held on March 24th, 2018 from 7:00pm-12:30am at Artpace, 445 N Main Avenue. The evening will include cocktails, dinner, and music and dancing on the spectacular Artpace Rooftop. We hope you’ll join us for the greatest party of the year.
