The Backstage Bash is the annual fundraising event for The Center for the Arts, set to take place on Saturday, April 12th from 7:00 pm -11:30 pm. The 2025 event will continue using the format of previous years closing W. College Street and holding the event outdoors. This year’s amazing hosts and committee chairs are Chrissi Vella and Brad Hopkins! We are so grateful for them!!

The mission of The Center for the Arts is to enhance the quality of life in our community by providing cultural and economic enrichment through the arts. We offer a wide range of arts programs including theatrical productions, vocal education, youth theatre programs, and an art gallery.

The event will bring 300 members of the Murfreesboro and Rutherford County community out to celebrate the Center at this ticketed event.  Dinner will be served by the Alley on Main, family style and  will feature several performances.

The Board of Directors will also present the Arts Advocate of the Year award, the CFTA Guild Members for 2025 will be revealed and the evening will end with dancing!

You do not want to miss this event!
