What

The Great Create is a fun, family-focused fundraising event that engages families’ artistic sides while raising essential support for the Nasher’s diverse and creative annual educational initiatives. This third annual fundraiser, which has sold out every year, is a celebration of youth art education and appreciation featuring a fun-filled afternoon of hands-on activities and workshops in the Nasher garden led by local and national artists, as well as live entertainment and kid-friendly food.

All proceeds from the event will directly benefit the Nasher Sculpture Center, bolstering the museum’s efforts to provide outstanding youth education programs throughout the year, such as the 3:01 Club after-school program, Summer Institute for Teens and free student tours. Education programs account for more than 33% of the center’s attendance each year, enabling many students and families to experience the Nasher at no cost.
