PAST EVENTS
STUTZ BLOCK PARTY & OPEN HOUSE
The Stutz hosted a Block Party & Open House on May 21!
The event was the perfect opportunity to explore The Stutz and to learn more about the creative businesses that call it home. Guests wandered through the new courtyard, discovered new work from talented artists and makers, and enjoyed good drinks and bites along the way.
There was live music, interactive games, open artist studios, a car show, and fun for all ages. It was so fun to see so many different people come through and appreciate all the progress that has been made on transforming the building!

BUTTER 2
BUTTER is a multi-day fine art fair and celebration founded by GANGGANG that seeks to elevate Black artists in the national conversation by inviting local artists to exhibit and sell work alongside artists from all over the world. Unlike other art shows, BUTTER was founded with an equitable and reparational process, taking no commissions for any of the works sold. Open to the general public, the second annual event took place on Labor Day Weekend 2022 at the Stutz, showcasing the contemporary works of over 42 Black visual artists.
Save the Date: BUTTER 3 will return to the Stutz for Labor Day Weekend 2023.
