Local artists working in all disciplines are invited to join us for Artist Open House: Mix & Meet on Saturday, October 25, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Meet fellow artists, business professionals, and organizations towards advancing their practice with information tables, private mentorship opportunities, and community building.

Registration is required to attend, and it operates on a pay-what-you-can basis. If the registration fee poses a barrier to your participation, please reach out to Anna Young by emailing her at anna@summitartspace.org.

We will provide updates on our website, social media pages, and through our digital newsletters as the project progresses. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter and follow us on social media for the most current information about this construction project!
