Celebrate an unforgettable evening in support of the arts at Stepping Out for Art, the Berea Arts Council's premier annual fundraising gala and art auction. Join us on Saturday, September 5, 2026, at Churchill's for an elegant evening celebrating the Berea Arts Council's 40th Anniversary.

As our largest fundraiser of the year, Stepping Out for Art directly supports free and low-cost arts programming, exhibitions, workshops, community events, and creative opportunities for children and adults throughout the region.

The evening will feature a catered dinner by Honeysuckle, decadent desserts, a cash bar, the Berea Art Awards, and both silent and live art auctions showcasing artwork generously donated by talented regional artists. Auction pieces will be available to preview online and on display at the Berea Arts Council gallery August 14th.

This year's theme is black and white, so we invite you to dress for an evening of timeless elegance as we celebrate four decades of creativity, community, and the arts.

Purchase your tickets today and help support the future of the arts in our community.
