April 26
Noon - 4 PM
Stove Works Courtyard
Philanthrophair is the capstone event to Arts Week, organized by ArtsBuild.
Using the county fair as a model, Philanthrophair is a day-long event in the Stove Works’ courtyard taking place on April 26th. We’re bringing together 30+ Arts Organizations and Artists to one location, saturating the courtyard with good times and good work!
In addition to promoting their ongoing and upcoming projects, each organization will design an activity for passersby to engage with. Think dunk tank (WE’LL HAVE A DUNK TANK). Think bobbing for apples. Balloon darts. An RC car demolition derby. Sack races. There will be collaborations and performances. There will be speakers and panel discussions. There will be food! Because we know, all of this art makes you hungry. The options are endless. The creative minds overfloweth.

Thank you!
At the heart of Philanthrophair is you! Thank you for loving what we do and caring about what we care about. Thank you for attending our shows and events, for volunteering, for spreading the word, for being on our boards, for bringing your friends, for cheering on our artists, for being an artist, and for generally giving a hoot!
Thank you, especially to those of you who donate to our organizations. Your gift is an expression of support. Even a monthly gift of five dollars communicates your investment and commitment to our programs and our missions. It shows us that you understand the time, energy, resources, and PEOPLE who ensure that these programs are available and accessible to you. And we want to celebrate that gift, your gift, and, perhaps, inspire others to give too.
