Welcome

IT TAKES A VILLAGE

Covid-19 has turned the arts industry upside down. We have been forced to cancel shows, workshops, and summer camp. As a result, arts organizations across the country are in immediate danger of closing their doors for goods. We hope that Star of the Day will not be a Covid-19 statistic. Please consider making a donation in our future here in the Lehigh Valley.

Please CLICK HERE to make a donation to give Star of the Day a fighting chance to open its doors on the other side of this pandemic.

We will be announcing a big December event....on November 1st.
