Dashing for Art in The Woodlands

By  | 

On the first evening of The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival, artists, The Woodlands Art Council members, and art enthusiasts gathered at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott for the Art Dash Party.

The event kicked off at 7 p.m. with live music, a Magician, John Cooper School Dancers, delicious bites and beverages. Art Dash Party attendees had the opportunity to view artwork donated by festival artists and participate in a 60 second “dash” to get their favorite piece. The “Double Dash,” a new feature this year, was held after the first Dash and a small, but lucky bunch, dashed for “secretly stored” items. The artists were also on hand to discuss their work.

Watch a clip of the guests (5 at a time) dashing for their favorite pieces of art in only 60 seconds:
