Celebrating ART is a four-day, art-focused fundraiser hosted by Stratford Academy each October. This year's event will kick off with our Arty Party Preview Celebration on Oct. 18 and will be open to the public Oct. 19-22. We are seeking parent volunteers who would like to be involved in this year's event planning.
Stratford hosted its inaugural Celebrating ART event in 2016 and over the last six years it has raised more than $150,000 for our school. In 2020, Celebrating ART was awarded a Cultural Impact Award by the Macon Arts Alliance for its commitment to provide a meaningful cultural event to our community.
Thousands of visitors from our community have been a part of Celebrating ART and this year's event includes: Glass Pumpkin Patch, Arty Party Preview Celebration, Preschool/Lower School Student Art Show and Sale, Teachers Treasures Silent Auction, and artist-in-residence Hot Glass Academy. We like to say, "There's something for everyone at Celebrating ART."
It takes a cast of many to plan this key event for Stratford and volunteering is a great way to get to know your fellow Stratford parents. If you would like to be a Celebrating ART volunteer, please complete the brief online form by clicking the button at the bottom of this email.
