Funds raised will annually benefit a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the Greater Stark County area. Funds from this year’s outing will benefit ArtsinStark.

The mission of ArtsinStark is to use the arts to advance community goals around economic development, tourism, well-being and education, in order to make Stark County a thriving and vibrant region.

For more than 50 years, ArtsinStark has been a driving force in Stark County, using the arts to enhance economic development, tourism, education and community well-being. As the county arts council, it provides vital funding to arts organizations, artists and schools, ensuring that creativity remains accessible to all. Through grantmaking, public art initiatives and partnerships
with local businesses and institutions, ArtsinStark fosters a thriving cultural landscape that benefits residents and visitors alike.

One of its signature initiatives, the SmArts Arts Education Program, integrates the arts into classroom learning to improve academic achievement and student engagement. This nationally recognized program brings professional teaching artists into schools to work alongside educators, using music, theater, visual arts and creative movement to enhance subjects such as math, science and literacy. By making the arts an integral part of education, SmArts provides students with opportunities for creative expression, critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are essential for future success.

In addition to its work in arts programming and education, ArtsinStark also manages the Cultural Center for the Arts, a cornerstone of the region’s creative community. Home to multiple arts organizations, the Cultural Center serves as a hub for performances, exhibitions and community events. Looking ahead, capital improvements are planned to ensure the facility remains a vibrant and welcoming space for years to come. Thanks to the support of the Employers Health Foundation, ArtsinStark will begin building new office spaces in 2025, marking an important step in the revitalization of this iconic arts destination.

By supporting this event, donors help sustain and expand these vital programs, ensuring that Stark County remains a place where the arts flourish and creativity enriches lives.
