Following two years of creative pivots and organization-wide transformation, we are deeply inspired by the brave people who found so many ways to sustain the arts through this time. In this spirit, we are excited to share Embracing Brave as The Arts Center’s 2022 theme for program activities including our Art for the Heart Gala Benefit Fundraiser October 1. 

Embracing Brave is about overcoming obstacles, taking first steps, finding new passions, helping persist, and celebrating milestones. Below are just a few of the Embracing Brave stories we have shared this past year:

Join us in inspiring community creativity through our Embracing Brave Art for the Heart Gala

We are excited to build on a long-term relationship with arts in health champions Samaritan Health Services. Our Fall main gallery exhibition Through a Veterans Lens will present photos with the unique perspective of veterans of military service. The exhibit will be the backdrop for the Embracing Brave, Art For the Heart Gala 2022 and other activities leading up to it.

As our most important fundraiser of the year, your participation as sponsors, auction donors, purchasers, bidders, and event attendees helps ensure a resounding success.
