100% of the proceeds from this event will directly support Burlington City Arts Children's Education:

Mentor Arts- Pairing at-risk youth in our community with supportive, encouraging adult mentors, Mentor Arts allows children to build self-esteem and creative expression, helping young people gain the skills and confidence to be responsible for their own future.

Early Arts- Early Arts incorporates the arts into the curriculum of area pre-schools by bringing professional artists to the classroom setting who approach the concept of literacy through lessons in visual arts, music, dance and drama.

Summer Camp Scholarship Program- BCA’s extensive Summer Art Camp program never turns away a student by providing partial and full scholarships to families in need. Students create and learn with art at one of BCA’s professional studios located at Memorial Auditorium and the Firehouse Center on Church Street.

Gallery Education Program, See.Think.Do! - This gallery education program invites youth and adults to the Firehouse Center for an interactive arts experience. Visits begin in the gallery with open-ended questioning, discussion and hands-on activities and students create their own original artwork to take home.
