Since Valentine’s Day 1999, Struts Gallery and the Owens Art Gallery have worked together to present The Sweetest Little Thing, a beloved annual fundraiser and community event. This February 14, 2026, marks the twenty-seventh year of SLT and it promises to be a very special evening featuring both old favorites, like the Instant Lovin’ Photobooth, and some newer fun, like karaoke and Pie vs. Pie! An exhibition of donated artworks will be on view at the Owens Art Gallery from February 7-14, 2026. As usual, all funds raised go directly to supporting ongoing programs at both Struts and the Owens, including artist residencies, community outreach, and art education programs.
