The Fly Arts Center Announces First Ever Giving Gala

This season The Fly Arts Center, located at 204 S. Main St in Shelbyville, TN, will be your comprehensive source for giving back this holiday season.

Join us for a holiday display of decorated trees like no other. More than 20 Bedford County non-profit organizations will present a holiday tree for public viewing to help share their stories of community service and hope. Giving stations will be setup at each tree to accept community donations to help raise funds and needed items for each participating non-profit group. Come leave a donation or gift to help support those in need. Together we can fill our community with the true magic of the season — LOVE, GENEROSITY & COMMUNITY

Each participating organization will be accepting monetary donations and will have a list of needed items.

Tree display viewing and donation drop-off will be available during The Fly's Holiday Maker Market on Saturday, November 29th (10am - 4pm), during the Dinner Theatre Event featuring Steel Magnolias on December 5, 6, 7, 12, 13 and 14 or during the organization's regular business hours of Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11 am to 4pm. You can also make an appointment with The Fly Arts Center President Jody Barnes-Turner via email at presidentflyarts@gmail.com.

The Giving Gala is open to the public. Admission and parking are free.
