The 5x7 Art Dash is Back!
What is the 5x7 Art Bash?
The last 5x7 Art Bash was held back in 2019, before COVID. Medici Circle is delighted to bring this event back.

The 5x7 Art Bash is a festive evening of art, music, lite-bites and strong drinks. Hundreds of anonymous small artworks, each 5x7 inches, are on view until it’s time for the Art Dash & Grab. Artworks are donated by artists from the School of Art, the Lubbock Community, and artists from around the USA. At the time for the Art Dash & Grab attendees will race to select their favorite art pieces. Each piece will be sold at the a set price of $100 each.

Funds raised go to support Art student scholarships.

What is The Medici Circle?
The Medici Circle is a Lubbock community volunteer group supporting School of Art through friends-raising and fund-raising for art scholarships. Since 2005, when the group first formed, the Medici Circle has successfully created or augmented $750,000 in art scholarship endowments.

More details to come soon.
