Act for Art: Join a Movement That Makes the Magic of Interlochen Real
Interlochen’s 5th annual Act for Art giving days are happening this week.
Across the country—and even around the world—volunteers are stepping up to make a difference for young artists. From alumni and parents to current students and global supporters, Act for Art giving days are in full swing with an ambitious goal: to rally 400 donors in support of Interlochen’s talented students. And you can be part of it.
Giving through Act for Art is more than a donation—it’s an expression of belief in the transformative power of the arts, right here at Interlochen and beyond.
That spirit is captured beautifully by Peter Sparling, an Interlochen alumnus and lifelong advocate for the arts. In his story, Peter reflects on how life-changing an arts education can be—and how none of it would be possible without those who understand that young creatives need their community, their mentors, and time to fully immerse themselves in their craft.
Personal reflections like Peter’s bring Act for Art to life, reminding us that every gift, every story, and every action matters.
Giving days like Act for Art are particularly important because when many, many individual contributions are made—no matter the size—together, they add up to something powerful. As our Student Philanthropy Team and staff watch the donor count grow during Act for Art, we are reminded that when we act together, we create real change.
Gifts made through Act for Art support scholarships and student experiences, helping families like Viktoria’s, who shared her gratitude in a recent video. These are the moments and opportunities your support makes possible.
Your action during Act for Art helps turn the magic that lives in every artist’s heart into something real. Just ask Yasmine, a young artist who attended Interlochen Arts Camp and emerged a “different person.”
So what’s the most important gift you can give during Act for Art? Simply: the one you can make. Every contribution matters.
Join Peter. Join Viktoria. Join Yasmine. Join the students, parents, alumni, and friends who believe in the power of the arts. Act for Art—give today.
