About this Event

Join the Chicago Art Renaissance Foundation for a Valentine’s Day celebration that blends fun, creativity, and community!

Our Project 2026 Fundraiser — Bear in Mind: Where Cupid Bow Meets Creative Art Flow — invites families, friends, and supporters to lace up their skates for an afternoon filled with music, laughter, and love in motion.


This isn’t just a party — it’s a mission in motion!

Every ticket sold helps CARF empower youth through creative wellness, art therapy, and leadership development programs designed to heal, inspire, and build future community leaders.



🎟️ Your Ticket Includes

• Admission + Skate Rental

• Food & Drinks

• Raffle Entry for Exciting Prizes

• Family-Friendly Vibes & Creative Fun



💕 Why “Bear in Mind”?

Our Valentine’s theme reminds us that love is both gentle and powerful — just like art.

The cupid bear symbolizes hope, connection, and the healing power of creativity.

Together, we’ll skate, celebrate, and raise funds to continue making art accessible to Chicago’s youth.

🎨 Support the Cause

If you can’t attend, you can still support our mission by donating directly to our Project 2026 Youth Internship Fund — helping teens gain paid creative experiences and mentorship through the arts.
