Help me name our Arts Event..

March 20, 2009 3:20 PM

Need help with a name idea for an Arts function...

My organization is combining our annual Arts Auction with the Spring carnival/picnic. We need a catchy name. I would like for it to focus on the arts part but still convey that this is a family fun event. The name right now is Arts Auction/Spring Picnic. Any ideas? I have to do advertising this weekend and need inspiration! Thanks all!!

Artnic is probably too obtuse but I like it. Maybe Picnic in the Arts? Its a tough combination of activities. I'll see if anything else bubbles up now that its been lodged into my subconscious.

Call me a minimalist, but I like "Picnic Arts," or, y'know..."PicnicArts." Per djgh, "Art 'n Eat" isn't bad either, pronunciationwise..

It doesn't sound like you need a name -- it sounds like you need a theme. From there you'll get your name.

I agree hermitosis, a theme would be good. Great answers so far guys, I'm open to a theme too!

Don't apologize, artdrectr. The kids'll love it!

I suppose if that would offend you could try ArtyParty.

I like both Art Salad and Eat Your Art Out. Adding the word 'picnic' or 'auction' to the end would specify specific events.

Thanks everyone, we decided to go with ArtyParty. Very catchy and conveys the atmosphere that we are going for. I appreciate all your input!

As much as I like getting the "best answer" I was pulling for Eat Your Art Out.
