The Kirkland Cultural Arts Commission is a volunteer board that advises the City Council on art acquisition and promotes strategic arts planning in Kirkland. To further its efforts, the Collaboration of Arts, Culture, Heritage, Education and Theater (CACHET), a subcommittee of the Cultural Arts Commission, was created to promote networking and collaboration between arts lovers, arts organizations, and arts businesses. This event is hosted by CACHET.
