ARTopia is a new frontier in celebrating artists, art, abilities, creativity, fun, and freedom with everything you know and love, NOW with a new name.
Join us as we celebrate the work of aspiring artists in Aspire of WNY’s iXpress art program AND enjoy all that the WNY art scene has to offer.
Enjoy an IMPACTful and accessible atmosphere filled with great food stations, unlimited drinks, great company, and an incredible cause — supporting children & adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Western New York.
Entertainment:
We are excited to announce that XOXO Pop Band will be performing at this year’s ARTopia! And with this year’s event extended by an extra hour, there will be even more time to dance the night away to your favorite songs.
But that’s not all! Make sure you arrive on time, because we don’t have one, but TWO amazing bands taking the stage!
Universal Minds, Aspire of WNY’s all-abilities rock band, will be back to kick off the night and get the ARTopia energy going!

We’re excited to announce that we’ve secured a special room block at the historic Richardson Hotel for ARTopia guests. Enjoy a beautiful stay at this iconic Buffalo hotel at a discounted rate!
