Our Story

As a volunteer and parent first attending Artclectic years ago, I remember being truly astounded by how the gym was completely transformed into a professional-looking gallery, with such a variety of art displayed. As an artist, it is even more impressive seeing it at all stages of the transformation. Artclectic also sets itself apart with its balanced variety of established and emerging fine artists.

With a solid reputation for showcasing both established and emerging artists, Artclectic lives up to its name with a diverse assortment of juried exhibitors. This annual fundraiser has evolved into a nationally respected art show highlighting a rich mix of media, unique in style and price.

In addition to hosting visitors in our Artclectic Gallery, we provide valuable art education for students. Most importantly, Artclectic supports innovative teaching by providing funds for our extraordinary teachers to attend workshops, explore new ways of teaching, and bring back innovative and visionary ideas to share with our students and our community.

We hope you will be part of this very festive event that is uniquely Artclectic.

“I have always loved Artclectic! My mother was one of the original founders of this fundraiser when I was in lower school at USN. I’m so proud to have been a part of the Artclectic family for so many years. I appreciate the opportunity to support the school that poured into me, taught me to be a lifelong learner and creative problem solver. USN helped empower me to believe in myself and gave me the skills and confidence to pursue a career as an artistic entrepreneur.”
