Artists will be able to use portable mini-golf bases or build their own! This year’s theme is 'Pop’. Think about celebrating bold colors and imagery. While we offer 'Pop' as a vibrant starting point for inspiration, we welcome your unique artistic voice. Feel free to interpret the theme loosely or pivot toward a concept that best showcases your signature style. Our goal is a visually striking, playful, and bold course!
