✨ Earlier this year, KC creatives lit up the stage at our CarnivARTS Festival—a day filled with art, music, and community, closing out with an unforgettable concert from Jazze Pha. 🎶

Moments like these are what The Next Paige is all about—creating spaces where creativity thrives and giving those who come through our programs the chance to share their gifts with the world. 🌟

But we can’t do it without YOU. Your support makes events like CarnivARTS possible, and your donations ensure our youth and creatives continue to have opportunities to shine.

🥂 Join us on Friday, October 10th as we celebrate 5 years of impact at our fundraising celebration. Meet us at The Skyline at The Combine from 5–8 PM. 🥂.

Every ticket purchased, every donation made, helps us keep building these stages for the next generation.
