Our special events—including exhibition opening receptions, Peoria’s 2nd Saturday Artwalks, and seasonal community gatherings—bring together artists, families, and neighbors to celebrate creativity in a welcoming, inspiring environment. These free public events offer high-energy brand visibility and the opportunity to align with local cultural life while supporting access to the arts for all.

Open Studio is our monthly, pay-what-you-can creative space designed for self-expression, reflection, and rest. It offers a judgment-free zone where participants can explore various art materials at their own pace, guided by prompts and supported by on-site artists. Sponsors of Open Studio help make this healing and inclusive program accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds, fostering creativity and wellness in the community.

This rotating outdoor mural series activates public space year-round, connecting local artists and community members through large-scale, participatory public art. Aligned with Peoria’s 2nd Saturday events and major festivals, the Mural Garden is a growing landmark for cultural pride, artist opportunity, and community storytelling. Sponsorship supports artist commissions, community painting activities, and the transformation of downtown Peoria into a vibrant, ever-changing art destination.
