Please join us at Citiot on Friday, September 4, from 5 to 8 pm, to celebrate the opening reception of our annual Napkin Sketch exhibition—a companion show to our yearly fundraiser, On The Table, happening this Friday, August 28, from 6 to 8 pm.

There is still time to get a ticket to On The Table (link in bio)! Ticket holders get first pick of the napkin artworks, while the remaining works will be available for purchase at the September 4 exhibition, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Celebrating the often-overlooked yet everyday napkin, the prompt for this exhibition asks artists and makers to explore how an ordinary object can become a space for spontaneous creativity and artistic expression.

Proceeds from the sale of these works support CREATE Council on the Arts’ programming and operations, helping us continue to make our work possible.

To hear about our next open calls, stay tuned here, via our newsletter, and on our website (linked in bio)!
