Festive Fundraiser Celebrates the Arts and Community Dec. 5 - Benefits Roxbury Arts Group’s Diverse Programming

ROXBURY — Roxbury Arts Group invites the community to celebrate the season with them at its inaugural Dance Party fundraiser on Friday, December 5, 2025, at 7 PM at the Old Mill Restaurant in Roxbury. This evening of dancing, dining, and community connection supports the high-quality arts programming that enriches life in the rural Catskills year-round.

"There's no better way to celebrate the holiday season than by dancing with friends and neighbors while supporting the diverse arts programming that make our community so vibrant," said Interim Director Gregory Reece. "This event is all about the joy of coming together; of great food and music, and the joy that comes from knowing that while having fun, you are also helping to ensure that world-class performances, exhibitions, and workshops remain accessible to everyone in our region."

Guests will enjoy a menu catered by the Old Mill Restaurant featuring both hors d'oeuvres and main dish stations, along with a selection of wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages. Festive attire is welcomed and encouraged as attendees dance the night away in celebration of the season and the arts.

The evening benefits Roxbury Arts Group's year-round programming, which includes inspiring exhibitions at Headwaters Arts Center and Roxbury Arts Center, a robust season of unforgettable live performances, and hands-on workshops, camps and community events for adults and children throughout the year. From bringing Grammy-winning musicians to historic venues to distributing over $175,000 annually to regional artists through grants, RAG ensures the arts remain a vital part of rural Catskills life.

Tickets for this event are available with Tiered Equity Pricing to ensure accessibility while maximizing support for RAG's mission. All proceeds directly benefit the organization's programming and operations throughout Delaware County and surrounding areas.
