The Art & Experiences Auction is back and bigger than ever! This year in honor of the time honored tradition of our Arts Education staff fondly known as “Piñata Day”, we’re hosting a fiesta theme! That’s right, salsa dancing, mariachi music, and plenty of piñatas.

Of course we’ll have the usual array of silent auction items including tickets to incredible DC area performing arts organizations, art work by local artists, and experiences arraying from a birthday party by Art Works Now to a Yoga Party hosted by our very own Brooke Kidd!

All proceeds from this event will go towards supporting Arts Education programs at Joe’s Movement Emporium including: Club Joe’s, Summer Arts Camp, Youth Classes and Joe’s Movement Company. Learn more about our Arts Education Fund by clicking here.

Lite fare will be served at this event.
