What happens when over 100 volunteers, months of careful planning, and a shared love of creativity come together? Magic.
Our recent Night at BARN raised an incredible $403,935 for creative opportunities across our community—surpassing our goal and proving once again what we can accomplish together.
This success belongs to all of you. Studios came together for cleanup days. Artists crafted beautiful pieces for the silent auction. We introduced a new “Buy It Now” option that brought even more work directly into the community. Volunteers stepped up in countless ways, from setup to takedown and everything in between.
The evening itself was filled with curiosity, creativity, and connection — exactly what BARN is all about. Seeing the building buzzing with energy reminded us that this space belongs to everyone who walks through our doors.
Thank you for showing up, pitching in, and believing in the power of what we can create together. This is your BARN, and this success is yours to celebrate.
We can’t wait to see you here again soon.
