Call for Art
Theme: Arts, Music, and Culture of West Tennessee
Deadline: October 25, 2024

‍

The 33^rd Annual Charity Gala will be Saturday, November 9, 2024, at the Carl Perkins Civic Center in downtown Jackson. This event serves as our largest fundraiser and proceeds support our grant programs, individual assistance to those in need, and other critical community initiatives.

Our concept for this year’s event, “Light Up the Night” is to focus on the arts, culture, and music of West Tennessee. One way we would like to elevate local creatives is by curating a gallery of different pieces of art from a variety of artists to highlight in our silent auction. We would love to include you in our artists’ collection and spotlight your work.
