Our favorite night of the year is back. Heart for the Arts returns for its fourth year on Thursday, September 10, 2026, and we would love for you to join us for an evening of celebration, student performances, and community recognition.
The evening begins with a reception at 6pm, followed by a performance at 7pm at the Grace Gamm Theater at the Dairy Arts Center, 2590 Walnut Street in Boulder. Tickets are $92.50 and include both the reception and the performance.
Every year, Heart for the Arts brings our community together to lift up the young performers at the heart of everything we do. Each year that means more than 400 of them, in work we have been proud to share for over 25 years. This year, all proceeds support the renovation of our Black Box Theatre, the 70-seat home where kids take the stage and find their people.
Your support helps fund essential safety and code upgrades, including new stage doors and exits, upgraded electrical and fire systems, better ventilation, and a new stage curtain, so the space our performers love is safer and better than ever.
If you cannot join us in person, you can still be part of the evening. Donations of any size can be made through our Colorado Gives campaign, and all gifts are tax-deductible. Interested in corporate sponsorship? Sponsorships range from $250 to $5,000, with a full packet available on the event page.
Head to the event page for tickets, sponsorship details, and everything you need to know. We cannot wait to celebrate with you.
