The Art Dash is a fast-paced, high-energy fundraiser where dashers pay an additional fee for the chance to grab original, handmade artwork. When their number is called, they race in to select one-of-a-kind pieces created by talented local and regional artists.

All proceeds benefit Woodlawn Arts Academy. In the event of cancellation, all ticket sales will be considered a donation to Woodlawn Arts Academy. For more information or sponsorship details, contact Christy Zepezauer, Executive Director, at [email protected] or 815-626-4278.
