Last Saturday, our community came alive with the vibrant sounds of jazz and the stunning visuals of local artistry at our Arts & Jazz event. We are overflowing with gratitude for everyone who joined us to celebrate this joyful occasion. Your presence made the event not only successful but truly magical. From the live jazz featuring The Sharp Thirteens, led by Jason Swann, The Patricia Berg Trio and the Kelli Campbell Quintet, to the group of art vendors, the day was filled with creativity, connection, and community spirit.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to all the art vendors who showcased their incredible talents. Your diverse array of work, from paintings and sculptures to handmade crafts and jewelry, added a rich tapestry of culture and beauty to our event. Without your contributions, our celebration wouldn’t have been the colorful and inspiring experience that it was.

We also extend our sincerest thanks to the community artists who participated in our "Together We Care" launch. Your willingness to collaborate with our artists-clients demonstrates the power of unity and shared creativity. This initiative is more than just an art project; it’s a testament to the strength of working together for a common cause. We encourage everyone to follow the journey of these artist collaborations on our website under the "Together We Care" section. The fruits of these partnerships will be auctioned off at our Black & White Gala in 2025, and we can’t wait to see the incredible pieces that will emerge from this endeavor.

Additionally, we’d like to thank:

• KIA of Beavercreek for providing a car for our “Stuff The Trunk” donations and to Funny Bone for providing water.
• City Barbeque for offering a 20% give back for all purchases made on the day of the event.
• Our media sponsors, iHeart Media, ThinkTV and Cox First Media
• Community pARTners Bockrath Flooring & Rugs

Thank you once again to everyone who made our Arts & Jazz event unforgettable. We look forward to seeing you at future events, and we invite you to continue supporting our artists by following their journey. Your involvement and enthusiasm are what make our community thrive.
