Thank You for an Unforgettable Night!
March 22, 2025
The BIG ARTS Annual Benefit was a night to remember! From the electrifying Shadows of the 60s tribute to Motown’s greatest hits to the delicious dinner, lively cocktails, and an outdoor dance party under the stars—it was truly a celebration of music, community, and the arts. CLICK HERE to view our digital photo booklet and relive the magic of the evening!
A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, supporters, and everyone who joined us. Your generosity helps keep the arts thriving on Sanibel and Captiva.
Stay tuned for 2026 sponsorship opportunities! For more information, contact the box office at 239-395-0900.
