• String Trio Performance

The Evening of the Arts is designed to provide an elegant evening for individuals or couples interested in the arts.  The evening will begin with hors d’oeuvres and cocktails and also provide guests with the opportunity to tour galleries and experience first-class musical and theatrical performances. “This is an opportunity to spend a nice evening in Statesboro while supporting the arts at Georgia Southern University,” said Smith.
