Hey, you love the arts. Well we do too, and that's why we throw

, a massive immersive experience celebrating those creative people shaping Dallas' exciting new era.

Also, there's booze. You're welcome.

One ticket gets you access to runway shows by local designers, food and drink stations, live music and art-making and curated artwork that we'd like you to know about. It's also where we hand out six thousand dollars in grant money to local artists who are making Dallas more interesting. We call them Masterminds.

If all that weren't enough, we grease-up the dancefloor and light it on fire. (Okay, that last part isn't legal or true, but Artopia is one unmissable affair.) So book January 18, 2014 on your calendar, because you're going.

Since you'll be there and we'll be there, we want to save you a few bucks with our special Observer pre-sale. Those tickets are available beginning this Friday, November 22, but Observer insiders can get theirs a little earlier. Check out all of the details here.
