About this Event

Save the date for an unforgettable evening in support of the arts! Join us on Saturday, September 5, 2026, at Churchill's for Stepping Out for Art, the Berea Arts Council's premier annual fundraising gala and art auction.

As our largest fundraiser of the year and part of our 40th Anniversary Celebration, this special evening helps sustain free and low cost arts programming, exhibitions, workshops, and creative opportunities for children and adults throughout our community.

Guests will enjoy an elegant dinner catered by Honeysuckle, decadent desserts, a cash bar, and the excitement of both silent and live art auctions featuring generous donations from talented regional artists. Beginning in August, auction artwork will be available to preview online and on display in the Berea Arts Council gallery.

This year's theme is Black Tie, so we invite you to dress for an evening of timeless elegance as we celebrate four decades of creativity, community, and the arts.
