Tigard

Art in the Burbs was purposefully and creatively designed to weave local artists with student artists. During the show, 20% of each artist’s sales will be retained to benefit The Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools’ Art in the Burbs Grant program. Grants are awarded to each of the district’s schools to use only in their arts programs – writing, music, fine art, and performing arts. The Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization.

Art in the Burbs provides a financial vehicle to enrich students’ lives through the arts. Click the button below to see how proceeds from last year’s show were used at your local school.

The dedication of volunteers plays a vital role in our work, helping the agency fulfill its mission and achieve its goals for Oregonians. Your support strengthens our impact, allowing us to better serve the community and make a meaningful difference.

Sylvia Ridge, Tennessee is known for one thing during the holiday season: their Christmas pageant. When Oralene, the guiding force behind the production suddenly passes away, the tight-knit group of women she left behind—known as the Silver Belles—must step up to save the show. As they fumble through rehearsals and face old wounds, they rediscover their voices, their strength, and their deep bond with one another. With twangy new country tunes, holiday classics, and plenty of Southern charm, The Silver Belles rings in the season with community and the kind of chosen family that helps us find our place—even when we feel a little lost.
