"Not every community has a place like SOPAC. We do." 🧡
Mayor Sheena Collum is calling on our community to rally behind SOPAC ahead of tomorrow's 20th Anniversary Gala, and we couldn't be more grateful for her words (and for all of you).

Swipe to read why she believes the arts are worth fighting for, then join us TOMORROW NIGHT as we celebrate two decades at the heart of arts & community with legendary E Street Band drummer Max Weinberg 🥁

Every contribution helps power the next 20 years of artists, audiences, and 9,000 students a year discovering the arts right here.
