In Statement Rings: Carve & Cast, Dante will guide In Statement Rings: Carve & Cast, Dante will guide you through designing and hand-carving your own sculptural ring. You'll learn how to shape, carve, texture, and refine your design before it's professionally cast in brass and finished for you. We can personally vouch for this one! Several of us on the CAE staff have taken Dante Perozzi's wax-carving workshop, and we still proudly wear the jewelry we created. If you want to see what you can make, just ask us, we're always happy to show off our pieces!

We are thrilled to welcome internationally acclaim We are thrilled to welcome internationally acclaimed watercolor artist Keiko Tanabe ( @keikotanabewatercolor ) to Center for the Arts Evergreen as the 2026 juror for our 53rd Rocky Mountain National Watermedia exhibition AND as the instructor of a special two-day watercolor workshop. In Atmospheric Landscapes in Watercolor: From Structure to Expression, Keiko will take you inside her process for creating luminous, expressive landscapes filled with light, mood, and emotion. Through live demonstrations and a running commentary on her artistic decisions, you'll hear how she interprets a scene, simplifies complex subjects, builds a composition, chooses colors, and uses expressive brushwork to bring atmosphere and feeling to the page. 📅 September 11 + 12 | 9 AM–4 PM 💚 $260 CAE Members | $290 Non-Members 🖌️ Intermediate to advanced watercolor artists Space is limited.

THIS is what 100 for $200 looks like. 🎨 The photo THIS is what 100 for $200 looks like. 🎨 The photos flying by? Those are from last year’s Event, and if it looks exciting, full of energy, and like everyone is having a ridiculously good time… that’s because they are. Here’s how 100 for $200 works: You arrive. Grab a drink. Have some dinner. Walk the gallery one more time and quietly hope no one else has their eye on your piece. Then the numbers start getting called. When it’s your turn, anything still hanging on the gallery walls is yours to choose. The energy in the room is magnetic. There’s cheering. There’s strategy. And there’s definitely some edge-of-your-seat anticipation as you watch pieces leave the walls and wait for your number to be called. And at the end of it all? You go home with an original work of art donated by one of our incredible artists. Many of the pieces in this year’s exhibition are valued well over $200. Dinner + drinks + a seriously fun night + original art to bring home. All while supporting Center for the Arts Evergreen. 💚 Friday, August 14 | 5–8 PM 🎟️ GET YOUR TICKET → EVERGREENARTS.ORG
