Watch Episode 2 "Community! Not Competition" of our PAAdcast, โ€œThe Arts Block,โ€ featuring Mary Jo Laupp and Evan Banks! - A couple of St. Joe artists you absolutely must meet!
Evan is President of Wayward Dreamers Guild and
MaryJo will be performing in this month's Robidoux Resident Theatre production of "Into The Woods".

Fun Fact: Mary Jo and our ED have known each other for years through social media, and both coincidentally moved to St. Joe within a year of eachother. Proving that when you build a strong arts community, you don't just give people a reason to come, you give people a reason to stay.

A special thank you to the Allied Arts Council for recognizing our incredible season sponsor, Veritas Systems Construction at the Mayorโ€™s Arts Awards last week. Their commitment to the arts extends far beyond sponsorship! They assist in every way possible to ensure that the best in live performance is affordable. We are grateful for their generosity, leadership, and ENDLESS belief in the power of the performing arts.

Speaking of leadershipโ€ฆ.Congratulations also to our neighbor and friend Nancy Schmidt Brunson of the Saint Joseph Symphony on receiving the Individual Leadership Award! We see her passion, vision, and tireless dedication every day!
We in the St. Joseph arts community are incredibly lucky to have her around to โ€œinspire, comfort, and upliftโ€! The success of one arts organization is a success for all arts organizations!

Congratulations to everyone else who was nominated and/or received these well-deserved honors. The St. Joseph's Arts Community is stronger because of all of you.
