Through its Arts for All Kids program, the Wortham Center for the Arts removes financial barriers so children can access the transformative power of the performing arts. Key to funding the scholarships that make up this initiative is its annual silent auction, which is live through Friday, Feb. 6. The goal is to raise $20,000 through the silent auction, which will allow over 1,600 students to attend schoolday performances and summer camps. “When you bid, you’re doing more than winning a great item — you’re investing in a child’s future,” organizers say in a press release. “Every dollar brings us closer to opening doors for the next generation of artists and audiences.”To learn more, visit avl.mx/fau.
