Workshops, exhibition openings, mural unveilings, and community gatherings, plus one fundraiser a year. The fundraiser is the only one with a ticket price.
Every year, Lantern Arts opens its doors for a celebratory evening of community-made art, live music, food, and fundraising. The 2027 showcase will show over 80 works by participants from every program, and raises operating funds for the year ahead.
