The Missouri Alliance for Arts Education's work to strengthen arts education in Missouri would not be possible without the support of many volunteers, sponsors and donors.
The Celebration Summit Gala provides an opportunity to gather together in celebration of our successes and to help lay a foundation for future work.
A silent auction is a part of the festivities featuring works of art from our constituents as well as other items from our supporters.
The Summit Social which follows allows students to practice their new skills in communicating about the positive impact and critical role of arts education.

Memories
2024 marked MAAE's first year of offering the Celebration Summit event as a way to say thank you to our many volunteers, sponsors and donors and highlighting the important work the Alliance has done and continues to do to strengthen arts education in Missouri. Held in the Lincoln Room at Jefferson City's Capitol Plaza Hotel, thirty-one guests enjoyed a cocktail hour, dinner, presentation and then many chose to join the students for the mocktail party at the culmination of the student Show-Me Arts Training.

Guests at the Capitol enter the building through the security checkpoint at the "Carriage Entrance" under the south steps, which can be accessed from the sidewalks at the southeast and southwest corners of the building.
(If you climb all the stairs, you will have a great view, but you will be unable to enter the building from there.)
