Party Like It's 5834 Wrap!



STG was honored to host the ‘Party Like It’s 5834!’ celebration in The Paramount lobby last night. After a seven year effort to preserve 4Culture funding, it was the very last thing the Legislature funded in the state budget session. 4Culture is the largest arts funder in this region and is a lifeline for many artists and arts organizations. The success of Senate Bill 5834 inspired a tremendous night of celebration. With about 900 guests and most of the region’s notable politicians in the audience, along with numerous performing artists, the Paramount was rocking!

Lucia Neare’s piece was stunning and the crowd was really engaged

Thanks to everyone who attended!

We had such fun - the Theatre is such a gem and STG's hosting was warm and generous. As 4Culture staff, it was so much fun to see all the people who make what we do so rich and exciting. Thanks, STG! Tina
