The St. John School of the Arts is inviting the public to “Artistry Under the Stars,” a special community fundraiser taking place on Friday, Dec. 12, beginning at 5 p.m. at Shambles Island Bar & Grill in Susannaberg.

Fifty percent of food and beverage proceeds from the evening will directly support SJSA’s mission to provide high-quality arts education to children and their families on St. John.

With national federal budget cuts threatening arts programs across the country, Artistry Under the Stars offers the St. John community an opportunity to stand together in support of creativity, youth development, and expanded access to the arts.

“Arts education is more than taking a class,” said the Jeuné Provost, SJSA’s executive director. “It is a lifeline for creative exploration, confidence building, and community connection. This fundraiser helps ensure that every child on St. John continues to have access to transformative arts experiences, regardless of financial barriers.”

Guests will enjoy an evening of talent, inspiration, and community spirit under the night sky. The event also serves as a platform to highlight the impact of SJSA’s programming, which includes dance, music, theater, and visual arts.
