Bright Lights, Big Successes!
As our programs team focused on exploring the theme of light and shadow through an artistic lens, our Bright Lights campaign focused more on shining a light on the generosity and creativity of our community. We set out with an ambitious goal to raise $10,000 for our organization, and thanks to the incredible support and innovative ideas from our partners and team, we surpassed all expectations by raising over $16,000.
Partnerships That Make a Difference
Our campaign was supported by local businesses and organizations, each adding their unique touch to our fundraising efforts.
A heartfelt thank you to Postino for their "dine to donate" campaign. Throughout May, they generously donated $1 from every one of their signature bruschetta boards sold at their San Diego locations. We hosted art activations where we were able to spread our mission and co-create some amazing art with their guests. Additionally, Postino catered for our Bright Lights event, delighting guests with their delicious bruschetta boards.
We extend our gratitude to the Arts Department for contributing a portion of their earnings from their Spring Bake Sale and Art Show to ARTS. Their contribution to our Bright Lights event with a live printmaking demonstration added an engaging and educational element to the celebration.
Our "Kendra Gives Back" event in spring 2024, hosted by the Kendra Scott UTC location, was a highlight of our campaign. Their ongoing commitment to our cause is evident through their generous contributions and enthusiastic participation.
Bright Lights Celebration
The culmination of our campaign was the Bright Lights celebration, hosted in the ARTS Patio. We honored six remarkable individuals who embody the ARTS ethos of building community through the transformative power of creativity. Their stories and accomplishments highlight the incredible work we do on a daily basis and represent the vibrant mix of youth, artists and community partners that make up the ARTS community as a whole.
At the event, guests had the special chance to take home a piece of ARTS with our "Artifact of Creativity" series. These artifacts are a physical reminder of the impact of their support and the ongoing journey of creativity and community building at ARTS.
There is still an opportunity to own your very own piece of ARTS history! Just a few pieces left!

Our success in this campaign would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our partners, donors, and the entire ARTS community. Your contributions have not only helped us exceed our fundraising goal, but have also demonstrated the real impact of the transformative power of creativity.
As we look towards the future, we are filled with gratitude and excitement for the endless possibilities that lie ahead. Together, we have proven that with creativity, collaboration, and a shared vision, we can achieve remarkable things. Thank you for being a part of our Bright Lights campaign and for believing in our mission.
Stay tuned for more updates and opportunities to get involved. Let’s keep the light shining bright!
