2025 Taste of the Arts Event

Mark your calendars for the Inner-City Neighborhood Art House

Taste of the Arts

A Garden Party in Celebration of 30 Years!

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9TH, 2025
Inner-City Neighborhood Art House
201 East 10th Street, Erie, PA 16503

We're looking forward to a night with live performances and demonstrations by the Art House's talented students, a silent auction and new surprises!

We are blooming with excitement to announce that our growing festivity, TASTE OF THE ARTS: A Garden Party in Celebration of 30 Years, will be held on Tuesday, September 9th beginning at 5p.m. "under the tent" at the Neighborhood Art House, 201 East 10th Street, Erie, PA 16503.

We have some perennial ideas planned that are sure to feed your emotions.

Our annual interactive stations will yet again provide you with the opportunity to meet the students and personally observe how they form their art here at the Neighborhood Art House. Our stage performance will showcase hardy dance and music pieces the students have dedicated their time cultivating for you.

Student artwork is garden ready and available for purchase, plus the silent auction of donated work by many local artisans will be harvested for bidding. "Six in the City," an event best-seller, involves over 100 [6"x6"] canvases created by artists whose names are unveiled once sold. All of this will take place with dappled shade while you fertilize yourself with a light buffet and cocktails provided by Sabella's Catering.

The Mission of the Neighborhood Art House is to empower youth through creative experiences, to engage in positive self-expression and to develop into confident and caring members of the community by providing classes in the visual, performing, and literary arts and in environmental education in a safe, nurturing, and caring environment.  All proceeds from Taste of the Arts fund the Afterschool, Summer, and Community Arts Programs.

Taste of the Arts is a ticketed event for $60 per person (must be 21 and over). The evening includes catered food stations of heavy hors d'oeuvres and an open bar. 

Your participation will help to plant more seeds through the efforts of the Inner-City Neighborhood Art House and will help our community to flourish. Come dressed in your favorite gardening attire. We can't wait to see your creativity!
