Educators: Gather your school team, rally behind your lead of choice (surprise mascots included), and enjoy an evening of fun, creativity, and camaraderie in celebration of your hard work!

Inspired by our latest exhibition, Get in the Game: Sports, Art, Culture, come take a timeout from the new school year, show off your school spirit, and wear your sportiest gear as we throw a celebration just for you.

Administrators and principals, we’ve thought about your needs, too: this event is the perfect opportunity for your staff to bond, celebrate, and launch into the new school year as a united team.

With competitive games, interactive art, and a high-energy atmosphere, it’s a celebration no educator will want to miss.

Free, tickets required. Reserve your spot online or by calling Guest Experience at (479) 657-2335 today.
