Welcome to the 2026 Queen of Arts Election. Vote for your favorite candidate here by making a donation to NCI ARTworks. These donations support our programs throughout the year. The new queen will be announced at the 9th Annual Mad Hatter Ball on January 16th and will be crowned by the Mad Hatter! 

We hope you will be there to share the evening with us. We will be honoring eight outstanding arts students from high schools throughout our region and, amidst all of the other fun of the evening, you will see them perform and show their artwork. Tickets are $45. 

The candidate who raises the most money for NCI ARTworks will be crowned Queen of the Arts at the January 16th Mad Hatter Ball!
