The Arts Center is turning FOUR!

Well, the building itself is nearing 100 but we’ve been here in the neighborhood offering arts activities since late 2005 so we thought a party was in order.  We’ll focus on the harvest, thanksgiving, and will likely have some fun arts performances from various Abbey folk…

6-9pm in the Abbey Cafe – 1st floor.

Bring a side dish (and some drinks if you like).  $5 donation to cover the main dish.  Please RSVP so we can tell you what your options are!  party@fremontabbey.org

See ya there!

Can you believe it’s almost December already!?  Well, the Triple Door box office can. So you may want to purchase tickets soon… once we announce the 2 secret headliners on Nov 29… this will most likely sell out fast!   The holiday show is always a beautiful time with tons of alumni from the year and usually a big finale with the audience involved… plus this show benefits the arts programs at the Abbey!

So dust off your ugly holiday sweaters or fancy holiday dresses/coats and grab a friend…  We love to see you in winter finery or bizarrery at this party.  {This show is a benefit for the Fremont Abbey’s arts education programs}

17th Annual Art Marathon & Auction

Venerable arts non-profit The Center on Contemporary Art (CoCA) will hold its 17th annual Art Marathon and Auction December 4 and 5 at the Fremont Abbey Arts Center, a restored church on 4272 Fremont Ave N. CoCA pioneered the concept of the ‘endurance’ art event beginning in 1992 and has gradually opened the Marathon to include a variety of media in addition to the usual painting. The event remains the region’s only 24-hour extravaganza, a spectacle that over the years has come to define CoCA’s edgy mix of emerging and established artists. Read the rest of this entry »

Come on.  Who doesn’t LOVE Christmas cookies?! And music?! We all love music… but now the combination? Now that’s a terrific combination.

Brittain Ashford & Levi Fuller will serenade our Christmas crafting and cooking. (Stay tuned for the yet to be announced “Special Guest Artist!”)

We’ll provide the cookies, basic decoration tools, and icing. (Maybe even hot spiced cider!)  But for those professional cookie decorators, you’ll need to bring your own crafty decoration tools!  Especially if you think you’ll need ‘em for winning the cookie CONTEST!

Buy your tickets to the Cookie Concert here.

$8-$12, 7pm doors

7pm doors, 7:30 show – Buy tickets here!

Hey, if you see our new ad (designed by local artist Eden Smith) on a bus, just SNAP A PICTURE with your camera and email it to us – arts@fremontabbey.org with your name and what bus route it was, approx location/neighborhood, why it caught your eye, what you ate for lunch that day, etc.

Then simply bus/bike/walk to an Abbey event like The Round or other Abbey productions and you’ll get a free Root Beer (and a good one! probably Virgil’s) while supplies last.  *Try to get a photo of YOU with the ad and we’ll throw in an extra bonus gift and you’ll be entered to win FREE TICKETS!
