Join the Steffen Thomas Museum of Art for its Founder’s Day Celebration on July 10 and the first dedication of The Charlie Bonner Award for Advancing Art Education.

The Founder’s Day Celebration is a fundraising function to benefit the upcoming exhibition Large Art Dreaming.

Large Art Dreaming is an ambitious exhibit collaboration between STMA and Athens artist Broderick Flanigan. This summer, Flanigan is working with a group of students from Clarke Co. Middle to create several large scale panel murals, which will be featured pieces of the exhibition. Together, they will create artwork inspired by Steffen Thomas’s Brotherhood of Mankind philosophy. 

When the show opens, Flanigan will also begin painting a mural on STMA’s West Gallery wall — as designed by a small group of students from Clarke County High and Morgan County High. For one to two weeks, visitors will be able to watch Broderick slowly bring it to life. The student’s paintings, the mural, and a selection of smaller works by Broderick and Steffen Thomas will create the exhibition.

This fundraising luncheon will also include featured speaker Tina Lilly (Executive Director of the Georgia Council for the Arts), a live auction, raffle, and more. 

Raffle tickets may be bought ahead of time for $10 each or $100 for 20 tickets. Prizes will be announced and updated on the STMA website, Facebook, and Instagram pages.
