CelebrARTy 2023

CelebrARTy is the most unique fundraiser in Columbia! Each year we pair local celebrities with local artists to form eight creative teams. Each team works together to create art pieces in the medium of their choice, and they’ll compete against one another to see who can raise the most funds for Access Arts. At the end of the process, we host a big event for all to attend and auction off their pieces! This year, CelebrARTy is on Wednesday, September 6, at The Blue Note. Each $50 ticket includes access to the live auction, where you can bid on the teams’ unique artwork. Additionally, the experience of each team creating their artwork was carefully captured in a professional short film, which will premiere at this event. Tickets will also get you participation in a silent auction, food from Room 38, drinks from Logboat Brewery, and more!

This year’s teams are: (Celebrity, Artist, Videographer)
David Seamon, Valerie Wedel, & Matt Schacht
Elizabeth Palmieri, Brianna Bogucki, & Aaron Phillips
Janelle Schultz, Brian McMullen, & Dustin Hawkins
