✨ North Star Night Out is almost here! ✨
Artsbridge is honored to support North Star Child Advocacy Center as they host their 3rd Annual North Star Night Out, featuring the inspiring Art for Advocacy Art Show & Silent Auction.
This year’s exhibit at the Parkersburg Art Center is extra special, for the first time ever, artwork has been generously donated by children, teens, and adults across our community. 💛🎨
Beginning December 8th, you can walk through the gallery, admire these heartfelt creations, and place silent-auction bids on the pieces that speak to you. Every brushstroke tells a story of hope, healing, and resilience.
💛 And the best part?
100% of the silent auction proceeds go directly back to the North Star Child Advocacy Center.
Your support helps provide essentials for children during their visit, items like shoes, toothbrushes, pajamas, and other comforts that mean more than we often realize.
The Art with Angels program at Artsbridge serves women and individuals in recovery and/or facing mental health challenges. Artsbridge partners with Westbrook Health Services to create space for expression and healing through art for their clients. The piece we donated reflects friendship and what it means to each of the artists. It carries their voices, their shared support, and the connection they build through creativity.
Let’s show up, support, and shine a light on the important work North Star does for kids in our region. 🌟

🎨✨ Giving the gift of creativity! This week we kick off our Giving Tuesday campaign for Artsbridge, where we believe EVERY person deserves access to the arts.
At Artsbridge, we exist to educate. entertain. enrich., bringing artists into schools, offering free art classes in neighborhoods, and lighting up communities through creativity.
Why it matters: When someone can’t access music lessons, art supplies, or live performances, the bridge between them and the arts grows wider. That’s where you come in.
👉 On 12/2 (Giving Tuesday) we’re asking YOU to help keep that bridge strong, so kids, teens, and adults in our service area can experience the arts freely.
💬 Will you commit now to share our story, tag a friend who loves the arts, and get ready to give?!
