Party  on Friday, July 25th from 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM and help celebrate an exciting new chapter for Lakewood’s arts community!

We’ll also have our eye-catching Fluid Bear sculptures available for purchase, plus our complete collection of Fluid Art To-Go Kits featuring bears and bunnies in sizes ranging from 7 inches all the way up to 13 inches, so you can keep the creativity going at home.
