Event

2016 Arty Awards

The party of the year is back for 2016!! Join ARTSConnect as we transform the Topeka Capital-Journal's paper warehouse to celebrate the best and brightest of the arts in Topeka! Cool cocktails, incredible dessert and a chance to cheer on the finalists at the coolest event of the year.

Judith & Frank Sabatini will be honored with the 2016 Liz Stratton Arts Patron Award and you can learn more about the other nominees here.

Superstar DJ Johnny Quest will get us on the dance floor with a killer mix of soul, funk, hip hop and Top 40 grooves. As an added bonus, we'll get you out of there in time to join our friends at the Jayhawk Theatre for a midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show - only $10 for Arty Awards attendees (and we'll provide a chair for the movie)!

Bring your friends, wear your most awesome outfit, and we guarantee a night to remember. Remember that we'll have a prize for the best black & white...food trucks....and more!
