About this Year's Event
This year Ignite the Arts Foundation - together with the support of Haus of Greta - is raising funds to create lasting, meaningful change through the arts.
Your donation directly supports:
-
IC3 and the development of a purpose-designed, residential village for adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD)
-
Scholarships for school children to participate in music and arts programs
-
Accessible creative opportunities that inspire confidence, connection, and self-expression
This campaign is about more than funding programs—it’s about opening doors. Together, we are breaking down barriers, promoting inclusivity, and making the arts accessible to people of all abilities and ages. Every dollar raised helps strengthen this vital community, increase positive awareness, and give individuals the chance to discover joy, belonging, and purpose through creativity.
When you give, you’re not just donating—you’re investing in people, possibility, and the transformative power of the arts. Join us in enriching lives, fostering belonging, and connecting communities—one creative opportunity at a time.
The Fourth Annual Parking Lot Party is a vibrant outdoor festival filled with live music, talented artists, great food, and laid back fun - created for dancing, browsing, and celebrating community.
