A standard ticket is $100 each.
You can also reserve a table of 8 for just $400 ($50 per person).

Each ticket includes:

🌙one-of-a-kind presentations from Jason and Kim customized specifically for the evening with stories they’ve never before told from stage.
🌙a plated dinner prepared by a talented chef using locally-sourced ingredients, and a token for one glass of wine, beer, or a mixed drink.
🌙access to limited edition artwork and products that will not be sold anywhere else.
🌙other little surprises that we keep secret. ;)

Guests who have attended a previous Wondernite or an Escape Adulthood Summit are eligible for a $25 savings on a standard ticket. Wonder & Whimsy Society members enjoy a $50 savings on a standard ticket.

In addition, we are offering a very limited VIP experience for $250 (only 14 spots available) that include priority seating with Kim or Jason, a champagne toast, and a special gift. (No discounts are available for VIP tickets.)

Anyone over the age of 21 is welcome to attend. We’ve seen couples use it as an excuse to get all dressed up for a fancy date night. Best friends treat it as an epic girls’ night out. Parents attend with their adult children for a unique bonding experience. Groups of colleagues and volunteers use it as an appreciation event for their team. And a lot of people come solo, excited to connect with friendly, like-minded people who are serious about not taking themselves too seriously. Please note that with limited seating, it’s first come, first served, so don’t wait too long between buying the number of tickets you need!

Kim & Jason Kotecki are best friends, husband and wife, homeschooling parents of three kids, authors, retro t-shirt wearers, and partners in crime on a crusade to annihilate Adultitis. They created Escape Adulthood to be a company and lifestyle brand that helps people rediscover the secrets of childhood in order to create lives filled with adventure, meaning, and joy.

Not to worry! A few years ago, Jason had the chance to visit some art galleries in Scottsdale, Arizona. Although much of the art was truly impressive, he was taken aback by the extreme levels of Adultitis that permeated everything. Everyone was so serious and stuffy. Making art is a joyful experience for him – as it surely is for the artists who had their work on display – but in those galleries, that joy was missing. Big time.

Jason’s work is filled with whimsy, joy, and optimism, and he wanted to create an Adultitis-free art collecting event that embodied those elements. His goal was to make a place for people who have never considered themselves art collectors to be as comfortable as those who are always on the lookout for new pieces. And although it’s fun to play dress-up once in a while and enjoy a nice meal, it doesn’t have to be at the expense of laughter and levity. And so Wondernite was born.

This year, Kim will be joining Jason in displaying work. She’ll be sharing photographs taken on her Wonderhunts, telling the stories behind them and lessons learned.

There will be original art in different sizes and price points, along with limited edition items you won’t be able to get anywhere else. We also will have a selection of goodies from our Lemonade Stand – things like prints, books, greeting cards, and calendars – that will suit every budget. We’re also happy to offer a 0% financing option to help make securing the one-of-a-kind treasures for holiday gifts or your personal collection more convenient.

An opening reception will be held from 6:30-7:30 pm. Dinner is served at 7:30, followed by a fun live auction, and a memorable presentation in which Jason and Kim will reveal new pieces of artwork for the first time and share the inspiring stories behind them. The evening will conclude at 10:30 pm.

We’ll be convening at The Berkshire, above the Black Pig restaurant in downtown Sheboyan. The address is 821 N 8th St, Sheboygan, WI 53081
