Stay Fresh Artist Series: 025
The Secret Santa Show
Opening Reception 12.7.24 6-10pm
Stay Fresh 108 Wyoming Street, Syracuse NY 13204

It’s Ho-Ho-Hot Cocoa Time! Grab a mug of melted chocolate, a glass of Wassail, Eggnog, and maybe a Hot Toddy or two, or even just Todd, we’re throwing another swingin’ holiday party!

Get ready for one of our favorite annual shows that has happens at Stay Fresh! It’s the Stay Fresh Secret Santa Show! We wanted to come up with a way to celebrate artists in Syracuse all while helping a good cause. So we’ve teamed up with TAPS the Arts Syracuse, and 30 of the area’s most creative minds for a night of holiday cheer made for all!

To get into the party you must bring an art or music supply donation*.

Here’s how it works:
• 30 artists gathered one night in the fall and threw all of their names into a Halloween bucket.
• Each artist then picked a name and shared it with no one.
• Each artist is tasked with creating a portrait of their chosen artist in their own style.
• No one knows who got who until the night of the show.
• Art Supply Donation to get in!
