LiveArt Gala

Sixteen Years of LiveArt: 2008 - 2025

LiveArt was created in the spring of 2007 to enrich the cultural relationship between the community and the University of West Georgia. To this end, LiveArt strives to offer exceptional and diverse artistic programming, outreach and arts education. Each of the last fifteen galas has been a considerable undertaking that was inspired and managed by a group of community volunteers. Here, we list the artists throughout those years that have provided lasting memories: 16 unique Seasons, 26 fabulous Artists!
