Art Dash Party raises funds for Student Art Scholarships

On Friday, April 12, the Art Dash Party, presented by The Woodlands Compounding Pharmacy, kicked off the weekend of The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival, held April 12, 13 & 14, 2024. The event hosted a room of festival artists and art lovers at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm.

The highlight of the evening was the competitive 60-Second Art Dash, where ticket holders dashed to select an original piece of artwork donated by the festival’s fine artists. The party also featured delicious light bites, beverages, and live music.

The stunning painting “Water Break” by this year’s Featured Artist, Regina Lyubovnaya, was auctioned off – earning a record breaking $23,000 – along with other exciting pieces of artwork. Funds raised at the Art Dash Party from the live auction and ticket sales will go to benefit The Woodlands Arts Council’s Student Art Scholarship Program. The Woodlands Arts Council awarded nearly $50,000 in scholarships in 2024.

This year’s event is co-chaired by three devoted art lovers serving The Woodlands Arts Council (TWAC) who have made a lasting impact on their Student Art Scholarship program by elevating the Art Dash Party: TWAC Board Vice President Haley Garcia, TWAC Board Secretary Nancy Charbonneau, and TWAC Board Past President James Stilwell.
