🎨⚡ WATCH ART COME TO LIFE ON THE SOUFSIDE!

We’re bringing live painting to the Soufside Kids Zone with featured artist Tre Wilkes!
Tre will be creating “Heroes of the Soufside” live during Art All Night — giving our young creatives a chance to see the process AND be apart of it!
Sometimes seeing an artist MAKE the thing is what makes a kid realize, “Oh…I can do that too.” 🖤
Come watch the canvas transform in real time + experience a night built around art, imagination, community + our next generation of creators.
