ArtiGras Carnival – Celebration & Fundraiser

Saturday, February 14, 2026

This over-the-top, Mardi Gras themed event was created to raise awareness and support for The Artisans Village, a non-profit art organization. The Artisans Village includes a storefront Gallery filled with amazing fine art and gifts from local artisans, an active Guild with over 200 members, and The Livery, an Artist Studio Space. The Guild and Gallery host several different art shows, classes, workshops, and creative exhibits each year.  The money raised from this annual event helps with ongoing operational costs and expaned programming for the rest of the year.

Event Details

• Laissez les bons temps rouler with a colorful Cocktail Hour in the Livery Studio with complimentary beverages, masks and beads.
• Mingle your way around the space to see exciting fire twirling and acrobatic stunts by Gravity Entertainment, Street Performers, Caricature artists, and the Artisan Night Market with live demonstrations from our local artists.
