FUNDRAISING EVENTS

CANVAS CAKES - A Fundraiser with Proof Bakery

Picture
Join us on October 19, 2023, from 5-7 pm at Proof Bakery in Downtown Starkville for "Canvas Cakes," a fundraiser for SAAC and Proof.

Learn cake decorating techniques from professional baker TJ Manna and decorate your own 8" x 6" cake "canvas" to take home! Tickets are $50 each and get you 1 vanilla or chocolate-filled cake to decorate. Select your color palette (Preppy Autumn or Maroon Fall) and decorate your cake with one of our pre-selected designs or do your own design.

This is an excellent activity for kids and parents, a fun girls-night or date night! We've only got 25 tickets available for this event, so grab your tickets before they're gone.
Funds from this event go to support Proof and SAAC operations and activities.

For questions, please contact Juliette at arts@starkvillearts.org.

FORKS & CORKS

DATE: JULY 8, 2023
Picture
This annual fundraiser showcases the culinary arts in a casual, festive environment. The past two years have approached maximum capacity, drawing attendees from across the state. Every August, local chefs compete head-to-head as attendees partake of their culinary creations. Fall 2019 provided the opportunity to highlight winners from our CDFA2019 Singer/Songwriter Competition, as well as a silent art auction and sale of ceramics donated by the ceramics faculty at the MSU Department of Arts. This event raised approximately $10,000 for art and art education programs in Oktibbeha County.

For more information, visit the Forks & Corks page.

Join us on Jun 8 at 6 pm for our Annual Drive & Meeting at 122 E Main St in Downtown Starkville.

This annual event is a celebration of what we've done over the fiscal year and serves to report to the public on past activities, while also connecting with existing and recruiting new donors before the end of our fiscal year on June 31. We will also have copies of our Arts & Eats Cookbooks for sale.

Donors of $5 or more under the current bylaws are eligible to vote on business matters, including election of board members. Donors who have not renewed since July 1, 2022, can renew by donate via check or through the SAAC website (www.starkvillearts.net).

This event will be catered and music will be provided by local musicians.

Each summer, SAAC hosts its Annual Drive & Meeting to report to the public on past activities, while also connecting with existing and recruiting new donors. In 2021, we held our  drive at a potential permanent space for SAAC, where we re-elected returning board members and added two new members, and shared plans for the year ahead. ​
