Local Artistry and Celebrity Glam Shine at Access Arts Fundraiser

The city of Columbia is abuzz with excitement as The Blue Note prepares to host “CelebrARTy”, an annual fundraiser that promises to captivate attendees with an exquisite display of art created by dynamic duos—local celebrities paired with talented artists. This lavish event, happening next Thursday, is eagerly anticipated not only for the star power and artistic talent on display but also for its noble cause. All proceeds will go to Access Arts, a nonprofit dedicated to providing meaningful art opportunities for individuals of all abilities and backgrounds.

A Diverse Collaborative Masterpiece

The innovative concept of pairing celebrities with local artists has breathed life into unique art pieces. This year, eight such pairs have come together to craft works that are both visually arresting and deeply personal. Each piece tells a story, weaving the distinct perspectives of its creators into a cohesive whole. This collaboration highlights creativity’s power to transcend boundaries and unite individuals from different walks of life through shared passions.

The Impact Beyond the Canvas

Access Arts, the beneficiary of this grand event, holds a special place in the hearts of many within the community. As stated in Columbia Missourian, the organization’s mission is to ensure that everyone has access to the arts, irrespective of personal circumstances or physical limitations. Funds raised during CelebrARTy will enable the nonprofit to continue its vital work, providing classes, workshops, and a range of outreach programs designed to foster creativity and confidence in individuals from all backgrounds.

Stars, Stripes and Strokes

The lineup for this year’s event is a veritable who’s who of Columbia’s local scene, featuring figures from public life, media, and even sports teaming up with artists renowned for their technique and imagination. Expect the unexpected as these partnerships bring forth surprises that challenge traditional artistic norms and offer refreshing new takes on popular themes.

The Evening’s Highlights

Attendees at The Blue Note will not just marvel at the art but will also get the chance to meet and mingle with the artists and celebrities responsible for these masterpieces. Following the exhibition, a live auction will provide guests with the chance to take home one of these unique creations, with all proceeds directly aiding Access Arts’ initiatives.
