BIG ARTS presents Annual Benefit
BIG ARTS hosted its 2026 Annual Benefit on March 7 at its campus on Sanibel. Themed “So in Love,” this year’s fundraiser featured The Doo Wop Project performing its new show, “Echoes of the Street.” Attendees enjoyed gourmet chef stations, drinks and pre-show mingling. Following the performance in the Christensen Performance Hall, the Malone Family Sculpture Garden transformed into an after party with a deejay, desserts and a few surprise elements. BIG ARTS reported that the evening was made possible thanks to the generous support of sponsors, donors and those in attendance. Nearly a quarter of a million dollars was raised to benefit and support the arts on the islands.
