About Community Creates
A Fabulous Party. For one evening, our Arts Based School Middle School building and courtyard are transformed into a chic, hip art gallery full of unique artwork created for this event. Local artists you love, and new ones you don't know yet, come together to provide pieces for our 100 for $100 drawing, silent auction, and live auction. Enjoy wine, beer, hors d'oeuvres and dinner. It's an evening you don't want to miss!
A Vital Fundraiser. Arts Based School's deeply arts-based, experiential learning includes visits and residencies from highly accomplished professionals in visual, performing and literary arts. Funds raised from Community Creates help us pay for this artists-in-residence program. The relationships between our students and these local artists inspire and instruct us, while helping create and solidify meaningful bonds within the community.
Everyone is Invited! Community Creates draws a mix of ABS parents, staff, Board members, artists and many people throughout the community who attend for the chance to walk away with some fantastic artwork, or at the very least, have a fabulous evening out!
