JACKSON, Wyo. — Tickets are now on sale for Center for the Arts Annual Benefit Concert on Monday, June 26, featuring acclaimed musician Cory Wong and his band.
For the third year, the Benefit will be held in The Center Park. The evening will focus on celebration, connection and community, offering the opportunity for everyone to kick off the summer together.
“The Annual Benefit is our only fundraising event of the year,” says Executive Director Marty Camino. “We’re continuing to build on previous years’ success of moving the event outdoors and welcoming the whole community to our annual celebration. We’re excited to see our Annual Benefit become a staple community event.”
Cory Wong is a Grammy nominated guitarist, producer and composer who has been touring worldwide to sold out shows. He’s also a member of Vulfpeck & Fearless Flyers. Cory started joining Jon Batiste’s band on Late Night with Stephen Colbert, then moved to a special guest performer. He is the host of his own podcast called Wong Notes (Cory Wong X Premier Guitar). In 2021, Cory opened the year up by introducing his biggest project to date, Cory and the Wongnotes Variety Show. The show is a true reflection of his amazing vision and passion for music, comedy and high-end content. It’s clean, fresh and perfectly timed.
“Cory Wong is one of the most exciting musicians and collaborators on the scene today, and this is sure to be an event you don’t want to miss,” says Camino.
Center for the Arts is a much-needed home for 20 independent arts and education nonprofits that have both a local and regional presence. Sustaining the 80,000 square foot facility and outdoor spaces is critical to these organizations and the local arts community.
“Proceeds from the fundraiser allow us to provide a community campus solely dedicated to arts programming for community members of all ages,” says Board Chair David Hopkins. “This fundraiser is core to allowing The Center to continue its mission throughout the year.”
Tickets to the event are $50 and are on sale as of April 19. The event will feature food and drinks for purchase.
The Center is grateful for the support of their Gold level sponsor, First Republic Bank. Their commitment is integral to The Center’s ability to serve the community.
