Fox Gives

Supporting Georgia's historic theatres means investing in the places where communities gather, stories come to life, and local culture thrives.

Last week, Fox Gives wrapped up two in-person workshops for organizations interested in our upcoming Single-Year Grant Program. We were honored to gather at the Winterville Cultural Center and the Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre, where attendees from across Georgia learned more about theatre preservation, operations, and the impact these treasured venues have on their communities.

Thank you to our hosts, as well as our partners at Georgia Council for the Arts and Georgia Center for Nonprofits, for helping make these sessions a success.

As we work to preserve and strengthen Georgia's historic theatres, we encourage you to support these incredible venues and explore their summer programming if your travels take you to the Winterville or Marietta areas.

A heartfelt thank you to Hart County High School for their two years as an All-Access Pass partner and for the lasting mark they've left on this program.

Through our Community Partnerships Multiyear Grant with Hart County Community Theatre, Hart County High School students connected with the performing arts through hands-on lessons, workshops, talkbacks, and behind-the-scenes experiences. As pilot partners, they also helped bring our first-ever Backstage Experience Day to life. Their feedback, enthusiasm, and collaboration were instrumental in shaping what that experience has become.

We are especially grateful to Seth Howard, Drama Teacher at Hart County High School, and Lani Sessoms, Artistic Director at Hart County Community Theatre, for their creativity and commitment to expanding arts access for students.

As we celebrate the close of this chapter, we carry forward everything we've built together. The work we've done with Hart County will continue to inform how we create meaningful arts experiences for students for years to come. And while this particular journey has come to a close, we look forward to remaining connected with the wonderful Hart County community.
