For Art’s Sake: An Educational Variety Show and Fundraiser for Scalehouse

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between Renaissance and Baroque? Why did Marcel Duchamp submit a urinal as art? What makes something “art” in the first place? These questions—and many more—will be explored by our resident Art Historian, Dr. Braden Engel, during an evening of curiosity, laughter, lively learning and fundraising at For Art’s Sake: An Educational Variety Show and Fundraiser for Scalehouse!
Join us April 16th from 5:30 – 7:30 PM at Open Space for a one-of-a-kind event that blends art history, storytelling, performance, and community generosity—all in support of Scalehouse’s mission to bring bold contemporary art experiences to Central Oregon. This isn’t your average paddle raise. It’s part variety show, part art history crash course, and part joyful celebration of creativity. Whether you’re an art aficionado or just art-curious, you’ll leave entertained, enlightened, and inspired.
