Our MISSION
"Employing the Arts to Support Communities in Need".
Our GOAL is to support other non-profits and organizations who are doing good work for people in need, by financially aiding them in their missions through the arts. We provide programming and select beneficiaries and help raise money for them through an art-centric event. We are happy to uplift, unite and enrich the community through these events.
In 2022, we were pleased to select our first beneficiary: Therapeutic Adventures. The inaugural gala event was held on September 17 at Madison at the Mill in Orange, VA. The gala was an inspirational evening filled with lots of entertainment, great food, music, auction items, amazing people and love and we raised over $11,000. for TA!
In 2023, we repeated the amazing evening at the Hylton Performing Arts Center, this time with American Idol finalist, Aaron Kelly, and local Poet Laureate, Kim B Miller, performing. We raised over $14,000 for Haymarket Regional Food Pantry! Sounds awesome, right? Please join us this year to support Boxes of Basics - Virginia-based nonprofit, providing clothing to children in need.
And in 2024 we were thrilled to provide $21,000 to Boxes of Basics, a Virginia-based non-profit that provides clothing to children in need.
As we start out 2025, we will be focusing on more programs to help more groups in need. We hope you will join us in our mission of "Employing the arts to support communities in need".

Our VISION is to enhance and continue the human services mission of other organizations and nonprofits (who help people in need) by growing our recognition, presence and financial stability, as well as providing a secure career for our future employees.

Our future goals include being able to offer employment to kind and caring professionals to help expand our mission.
Therefore, as we grow, so does our help to people in need AND to people in the workforce.

The Art of Life Charities GALA is all about sharing the important things in life with others and having fun while doing it! Isn't that the "art of life"?

There will be amazing art and guest speakers/performers, delicious local food and drink, music, and community spirit! All in the name of giving.
The Art of Life Charities GALA is one of the ways we increase awareness about the yearly beneficiary to help aid in their mission too.
The 2024 AOLC "Heart to Heart" Gala is benefiting Boxes of Basics - a nonprofit that provides clothing for children in need. It will be on October 19th at the Heritage Hunt Golf & Country Club. Get tickets or become a sponsor/donor HERE!
