Help us kick-start our 25th Anniversary!

For a quarter-century, ARTS has been a place where young people are seen, heard, and empowered through the transformative power of creativity. This milestone belongs to the artists, families, staff—and especially to the supporters whose belief and generosity made it all possible.

Bright Lights 2026 is a moment to celebrate you, honor the leaders who shaped ARTS across generations, and look ahead to the next 25 years of impact.
