Specialty Tour- The Art of the Pitch- A Singles Tour

This singles event gets a creative twist! Instead of the usual introductions, your friends take the spotlight by “pitching” you to the group with handpicked artworks that capture your vibe, personality, or sense of humor. As you explore the galleries, every artwork tells two stories: the artist’s and yours, making it a fun, unexpected way to spark conversation and connections. After the tour, keep the good energy going with beer, wine and light bites while you mix, mingle and maybe find a match!

Once you have completed your registration, you will receive an email with additional information. If you have questions, please email [email protected] or call 937-223-4278 during regular museum hours.
