Celebrating 40 Years!
This anniversary is more than a celebration—it’s an invitation.
2026 Non-Profit of the Year!
The Thomasville Center for the Arts was honored as Non-Profit of the Year at the Community Impact Awards hosted by Imagine Thomasville, recognizing our commitment to strong fundraising, clear mission, and meaningful community impact.
This award belongs to our supporters and partners—we’re grateful for your belief in our work and excited to continue making lives brighter through the arts!
Fox Gives $65,000 Grant
Just in time for our 40th anniversary, Thomasville Center for the Arts was awarded $65,000 through the Fox Theatre’s Fox Gives single-year grant program, an initiative dedicated to preserving Georgia’s cultural heritage, fostering economic growth, and strengthening community spaces.
The Fox Theatre Institute Grant Program replaced outdated auditorium lighting in our historic 1915 building. This project has enhanced the functionality, safety, and artistic quality of the auditorium while preserving the architectural integrity of this beloved community landmark.
