Artlink extends a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for the 13th Annual Art d’Core Gala: PRISM. Celebrated as the Arts & Culture Party of the Year, this signature fundraising event brought together artists, chefs, winemakers, supporters, and creative leaders from across Arizona for an unforgettable evening celebrating the state’s vibrant creative community.
A special thank you to our host partner, Biltmore Fashion Park, for providing such an incredible setting and for supporting Arizona’s arts and culture community.
