UNITED RUNWAY: THE ART OF IMPACT
As access to visual and performing arts education declines across the country, the United Way of Anderson County is investing in artists' future. While our schools work tirelessly to support our students, the need for arts access continues to grow. Programs that nurture creativity and cultural connection are vital, providing a bridge for youth to find their voice and their community.
United Runway: The Art of Impact exists to strengthen that bridge.
We believe the arts are essential—helping young people build confidence, connection, and a sense of belonging.
This event will raise funds that support students and educators throughout Anderson County by:
- Providing scholarships for youth arts programs and camps
- Supplying teachers with essential classroom materials
- Expanding access to visual and performing arts opportunities
- Removing financial barriers to participation
Every ticket, sponsorship, and donation helps ensure more young people can create, grow, and thrive. When we invest in youth in the arts, we help build a legacy for generations to come.
THE EVENT
In April of 2027, the United Way of Anderson County will host an Wearable Art runway show. It won't be your typical fashion show; it will feature unique designs made from unconventional materials. Our event will be at the Anderson Art Center and will feature artists from around the country. This event is perfect for artists, fashionistas, creatives and people who want to make a difference in their community. The grand prize for our show will be $1,000!
