We are so sad to have to postpone, but looking forward to all the fun on October 17th! 🌧️

🌧️ A change of plans for Canvas & Culture.

Due to the potential for storms and rain this Saturday, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone Canvas & Culture to Saturday, October 17th.

We know how much time, preparation, and energy our vendors, performers, partners, and community have already poured into this event, and we truly appreciate every bit of it. We’ve put so much heart and work into Canvas & Culture, and we want to make sure we can create the safe, vibrant, and memorable evening everyone deserves. ❤️

We know postponing is disappointing. We’re disappointed too. But making this decision early gives everyone as much time as possible to adjust their plans.

Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and continued support of Canvas & Culture. We’re so grateful to have you be part of this community. 🎨✨

Save the new date: Saturday, October 17th!

We hope to see you there. 💛
