you’re inviteD to our 3rd annual fundraiser!

Tickets are now available for The Fifth Element: A Curated Party, Curated Storefront's annual fundraiser. This year's event will be held on May 18, 6-10pm, at Bounce Innovation Hub, 526 S. Main St. The evening will feature food, music, and art powered by some of our awesome regional creatives.

This is an invitation to the community to celebrate the power of art and help support our mission in Akron.

What should I wear?

Have some fun with your outfit and enter the costume contest! We're looking for fun interpretations of your favorite element, whether the classic four (earth, wind, water, fire) or straight from the periodic table. You can even dress up as a character from the movie, The Fifth Element. First, second, and third-place winners, to be selected by audience response, will receive fun prizes!

More details will be available soon on our Facebook event and Eventbrite listing where you can also purchase tickets.

Below are photos of some of the ways we supported artists and helped to transform Akron in 2023 with your generous support!
