We are celebrating Pi Day by showing off all the slices that make up the Averitt Center! Even though it's a bit more than just 3.14 slices. We're so grateful for our community of friends, teachers, cast members, staff, family, and volunteers who have supported us through this past year and all the ones before.
No matter how you slice it, we are so glad to be a hub of creativity in Statesboro. Happy Pi day everyone!

These flowers make it truly feel like spring is here! These bright blooms were arranged for us by for .ldw and her gorgeous gallery reception last Thursday. The wonderful vase they’re in was handcrafted by our talented instructor ! The vase is called stone star and is available to any interested buyer looking to add a bit of class to their space. The vase is $180 but the looks are free, so come give the gallery, vase, and gorgeous flowers a visit before they’re gone! And a special thank you to all of our supporters, staff, and sponsors who made this gallery so wonderful.
While most of us are still dreaming of sleeping in, it’s time to spring ahead! Good luck and good caffeine to everyone sleepy in Statesboro as we adjust to the clocks moving forward an hour.

Averitt Center launches nature-based art exhibit
Avant Gardener will exhibit at the Averitt Center for the Arts beginning on March 9. An opening reception is scheduled for 5:30pm on the 9th.
In celebration of International Women's Day, we'd like to highlight two women who have devoted so much time, effort, and creativity to the arts and humanities. From our past, we'd like to show off works from the late Roxie Remley. Her kind, firey spirit kept things lively here when she volunteered, but it also shows in her art. Not only is our 2-D/ 3-D studio building named after her, we also have a permanent collection of her work, part of which is currently on display. From our present, we'd like to show off a collection of ceramics work from our dedicated Visual Arts Director and instructor. Kim's welcoming approach and patience puts her students at ease when she teaches classes here. When she isn't instructing students, she creates unique, beautifully detailed ceramic installations that draw you in with their 3-D features. Her artwork has been exhibited both nationally and internationally and is held in private collections. Exhibition venues include: Mason City, IA; Atlanta, GA; North Charleston, SC; Lake City, SC; Fort Meyers, FL; Sheffield, England, UK. When she isn't being featured in a gallery, she also curates and runs our own main gallery, developing shows and finding artists. The Averitt Center for the Arts has thrived from the influence of these two women, and it will continue to in the coming years. Happy International women's day!
Today is the day to celebrate all the amazing women out there. The ones who inspire us, the ones who push us, and the ones we look up to every day. Happy International Women's Day! ❤
If there is one person who deserves a standing ovation after a concert, it's Dan Larkin. This local favorite has been filling picnic tables and bar stools all over the country, including little old Statesboro. And we have him for one night only in our exclusive ONE Series where you'll have a chance to hear all about his journey as a musician and professor while also experiencing his private concert in our theatre. Snag your ticket today online or by phone!
You know her, you love her, it's Rachel Elkins! Our wonderful box office manager, communications officer, and amazingly talented performer Rachel is back on our stage as Alice Murphy. She's been in many Averitt productions before and stays busy outside of work performing with her band the Ripleys. So we are overjoyed to have her as our leading lady in the upcoming production of Brightstar! Come out and show your support April 20th- 23rd. Tickets are available now online or by phone at 912-212-2787. Link to tickets is here: https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/averittcenterforthearts/6636

We know you've been waiting... Brightstar auditions came to a close this weekend with over 50 potential stars trying out for roles in the main lineup and ensemble. So after some debate, we finally got a decision! Give it up for the new cast of Brightstar, in the Emma Kelly Theater April 20-23rd. All cast, roles, and additional information is available on our website under cast lists and auditions. Thank you to everyone who poured their hearts into their audition and came out to see us!
Thank You to all the wonderful people that came out to be with us In Statesboro… We’ll see you all next time!
It's another busy Saturday in Statesboro, what's first on your list of things to do? 🐶🐱🐔🦅🎤
Students, do you recognize this professor? Well, we sure do! He's been singing all over Statesboro and now he's coming to our stage. Dan Larkin, a current GSU professor, has played his guitar all across the country opening for sold-out shows in places like Anaheim, California. His music influences stem from classic rock, some alt-country, and the singer/songwriter genre. He says that bands like Wilco, Deyarmond, Edison, and Whiskeytown as well as artists like Sturgill Simpson and Tyler Childers make up the sound he is floating around. His musical influences include Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, Ray LaMontagne, James Taylor, The Beatles, Radio head, Ryan Adams, and Tom Petty.
See this talented man perform live on March 10th @ 7:30 pm
