Join us at the Goei Center on Friday, March 7th, 5:30 PM – 9:30 PM for an unforgettable evening dedicated to cultivating creative leadership and empowering local communities through arts-driven transformation.

This special event is your chance to mix and mingle with our region's most passionate advocates for the arts. Over signature cocktails and delicious hors d'oeuvres, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Build meaningful relationships with like-minded changemakers
• Enjoy live music and entertainment from DJ Monk
• Bid in our silent auction, featuring a curated selection of artworks, experience packages, and one-of-a-kind items

Throughout the night, you'll also get an inside look at the transformative impact of our work, as we share stories and insights from the community-driven initiatives we're scaling across the region. From public art installations that enliven underutilized spaces to creative workforce development programs that empower local talent, our projects are sparking ripple effects of wellbeing, resilience, and shared prosperity.

But we can't do this vital work without your support. 

By joining us at our upcoming Blooming Future fundraiser event, you'll be investing directly in the artists, leaders, and ideas that are remaking our communities from the ground up. Your contribution will help us:

• Provide training and mentorship to emerging creative leaders
• Facilitate cross-sector collaborations that address systemic challenges through arts-based solutions
• Expand our reach and deepen our impact in under-resourced neighborhoods
• Build a sustainable future in which every individual has the opportunity to thrive

In a time of unprecedented uncertainty and disconnection, the need for a safer, more welcoming, more enriching public experience has never been greater. So join us in planting the seeds for a more colorful and connected world ― one where every voice and vision is uplifted, and every community thrives.
