"The coronavirus pandemic has reminded us of the deep desire for human connection. We’re self-isolating for now with our favorite artists in our earbuds. But the arts will soon be helping us heal together: live and in person. You can help us be ready to heal the soul of our community.

This year’s event will include an online auction, fund-a-need, with messages and performances from artists. You’ll also have the option to order handcrafted cocktails and mouthwatering delights by our swanky-downtown-locally-owned small-business-restaurant, Dillinger’s Kitchen & Cocktails. We’re eternally grateful to Olympia Federal Savings for their continued support.

So yeah. It’s the CENTER Stage Awards & Gala, but without the awards. Why? Because our awardees are WAY too important to recognize virtually. They’ll be back next year, we promise!" (Promo Copy)
