Can you dig it!? It’s time to break out the bell bottoms and platform shoes for Upturn Arts sixth annual disco-themed fundraiser, Studio 504: Disco for Dance, on Friday, April 6, 2018 from 5:30–9:30pm at the New Orleans Jazz Market. This family-friendly event will raise awareness and funds for Upturn Arts’ mission, which is to provide “Arts for All” to children in the New Orleans area on a sliding scale. Enjoy tasty, local cuisine from Jacques-Imos, Adolfo Garcia, Boucherie, Stein’s Deli, and other New Orleans restaurants. There will be a silent auction filled with local goodies and even a few once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Studio 504 will showcase performances from Disco Amigos and other Dance Krewes. Upturn Arts Executive Director, Dana Reed, sees this fundraiser as a chance for communities and families to come together and celebrate the arts. “This event embraces what Upturn Arts is all about - being proud of who you are and expressing your voice in an artistic way, especially at a young age,” says Reed. “The first disco did not involve our students and all night long it was obvious what was missing - THE KIDS. Our students are the force behind the organization and it is important to put them in the spotlight.” Along with the adults’ VIP section - which includes an open bar, gourmet appetizers, and a private seating area - the kids have their own “No Parents Allowed” section to enjoy the night as the true VIPs. All proceeds from the event go towards scholarships and financial aid for students to attend summer camp. Last year, the organization raised over $12,000, allocating 48 weekly camp scholarships. This year, Upturn Arts hopes to raise at least $35,000 to allocate roughly 140 scholarship opportunities.
