4th Annual 6×6 Project at Raue Center

Raue Center For The Arts had a wonderful turnout at their 4th Annual 6×6 PROJECT Art Reception

Thank you to everyone who came out for this event. It was so wonderful to see (and meet) many of the artists. Thank you to all the families and friends who also came out to support the artists who participated this year. A warm thank you to all the volunteers and the 6×6 PROJECT team and THANK YOU to everyone who bid on the art!

If you didn’t have a winning bid, consider making a general donation to Raue Center’s educational programs or even become a RaueNOW member if you aren’t already. For everyone who does have a winning bid(s), the art will start shipping out by June 30. You will receive an email soon.

4th Fridays Art Event is a regional art event that was held 10 months a year until … you know, Covid.

Although 4th Fridays have rocked the world of art events since April of 2011 with our juried mixed art exhibit, juried photo contest, featured artist solo exhibit, artist connect interactive, vendor artists, People’s Choice voting, 3 stages of live music, full cash bars, roving appetizers, food trucks [take a breath] … we must pause all IN PERSON events and openings until we are on the other side of the pandemic.

Our crowds are just that big and we kindly strive to put all people’s safety first.

NOW + DURING PANDEMIC September 2020 – until Post-Pandemic
4th Fridays are now VIRTUAL in our classy online gallery as a juried PHOTOGRAPHY only exhibit, [photography only for NOW].

Raue Center For The Arts Announces 2022 Photography Fellow

Todd Heintz, of Todd Heintz Photography, joins the Raue Center team for the inaugural Photography Fellowship program.

Raue Center is excited to welcome Todd Heintz as the inaugural Fellow. This year-long role will give him the opportunity to explore his photography as art along with capturing Raue events and performances for promotional and archival purposes. 

As Raue Center Photography Fellow, Todd will capture images from our unique and culturally diverse shows and events. This year-long fellowship strives to approach each event as an individual assignment, capturing the voice, personality, and/or feeling of the performance. Upon completion, this program culminates with an exhibition in our historic theater.

View Todd’s work here!

Todd Heintz is a photographer, a videographer, a coffee lover, and a dad joke aficionado. His photography style is a blend of photojournalism and a touch of fine art. He loves not only documenting that moment in time but strives to capture what it feels like to be in that moment. Photography is emotional for Todd. He hopes his work evokes an emotion for the viewer.
