Thank You for Making Art & The City a Success!
A living, participatory celebration of art, creativity and community at Morningstar
We are deeply grateful to our donors, sponsors, volunteers, and every supporter who helped bring our vision to life. Because of you, our biggest night of the year, September 5 at Morningstar, was filled with joy, creativity, and community.
From the stunning live art performance by master quilter Dorothy Straughter, to the soulful sounds of Patch of Blues, the energy of DJ Justeez, the delicious food by Andrea Herrera and Amazing Edibles, the buzzing auction tables, and the amazing skyline views — Art & The City is a night to remember.
A very special thank-you to Morningstar for generously donating their beautiful headquarters space pro bono, making this celebration possible.
The generosity of WMG’s donors directly supports women and nonbinary artists, ensuring their voices and visions continue to shape our city’s creative spirit.
