Why Attend a Fundraising Event?

More Than a Night Out - It’s a Night Of Impact

There is no doubt that a great fundraising event promises good food, great company, and an atmosphere of celebration - but the true aim is to gather to do good and to make a lasting impact.

Art in Action’s, annual fundraiser, OBJECT:ART is an evening to celebrate creativity, community, and the power of art education.

Here is why you won’t want to miss this event:

1. Ticket = Impact

This isn’t just a ticket for a fun night out. It is your way to help bring creativity into children’s lives. Your ticket supports hands-on art education for students who might not otherwise have access to creative learning. This means educator training, art supplies, and lessons that spark imaginations and boost confidence in young learners.

Instead of a typical dinner out, you are choosing a night that gives back.

2. Investing in Kids and Your Community

There is something powerful about being in a room full of people who care deeply about a cause. The energy is inspiring. 

Art Education helps bring students tools they carry for life, such as critical thinking, emotional awareness and creative problem-solving skills. By attending OBJECT ART, you’re nurturing the whole child and investing in stronger and creative communities.  

3. You’ll Feel the Impact

One of the most powerful parts of the evening is seeing the difference your support will make.

Through student stories to educator voices you’ll see, and hear, how art education builds  creativity, empathy, and confidence in children.

These personal stories remind us why creativity and art matters now more than ever.

4. A Celebration of Creativity (the Fun Kind!)

This isn’t a buttoned-up fundraiser. It is a celebration! 

From student-inspired artwork to playful, immersive experiences, the event reflects the joy and imagination that art brings into learning. It is a reminder that art is not an extra. It is essential.

5. Giving Is Better Together

There’s something magical about generosity shared..

Whether you're bidding in the silent auction, jumping into the live auction excitement or simply showing your support, you are part of something bigger. Shared generosity creates collective momentum and sustains art programs all year-round.

Many guests leave feeling inspired, energized and already making plans to come back next year.

6. It’s a Feel-Good Night Out with Purpose

Looking for that unique date night? A reason to gather friends? A chance to connect with people who care about the community?

OBJECT ART checks all the boxes. Come for the fun, stay for the mission. Whether you’re networking with fellow changemakers, laughing with friends, or meeting new faces with shared values, you’ll be a part of something that is joyful and meaningful

More Than an Event

OBJECT:ART is not a formal night out. It is an opportunity to celebrate progress, deepen your connection to a mission, and help create meaningful change.

When you attend Art in Action’s annual event, you ensure that creativity, confidence, and imagination remain part of every child’s education.
