OUR GRANTS
(A SAMPLING)
City Springs Theatre Company Arts Education
Some of City Springs Theatre Company (CSTC) arts education programs
have been funded by SSAF.
CSTC programs serve educators and students, Pre-K through college, by engaging the educational community through a student matinee series, hands-on training, and summer programming. This outreach includes field trip programs and summer camps.
City Green Live and Concerts by the Springs
SSAF has sponsored two free concert series at the
Performing Arts Center’s Campus.
City Green Live is a Friday night “must-do” for music lovers. This concert series features local, as well
as nationally-known musicians, during the spring and summer.
Concerts by the Springs is another smaller concert series held during the summer. Visitors can wind down and enjoy music and a sense of community.
The concerts allow all Sandy Springs residents and visitors to share the musical experience, together.
Atlanta Jewish Film Festival
SSAF has sponsored the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival.
The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival (AJFF) is a showcase of international cinema that broadly explores themes of identity, history and culture. Through the power and shared experience of cinematic storytelling, AJFF fosters stronger bonds within the Jewish community, and inter-group relations with Sandy Spring’s diverse cultural, ethnic and religious communities.
Djoli Kelen
SSAF has sponsored Djoli Kelen.
Djoli Kelen(Jo-lee Keh-leh) is an inter-generational nonprofit arts organization. The nonprofit focuses on documenting, preserving, and highlighting the health, healing, fitness, and transformative power of African/African Diaspora dance, music, and culture. Djoli Kelen means “one blood” in the language of Western Africa, which helps highlight that dance is an art form for all. SSAF donated toward their performance series in celebration of Black History Month.
ACT3
SSAF has sponsored ACT3.
In Sandy Springs, ACT3 is a semi-professional nonprofit theatre company and arts academy. Their goal is to be a vital part of the cultural community by providing high quality, diverse and thought-provoking theatre to their audiences. The organization is an ensemble of dedicated artists who believe that theatre has the power to transform lives. SSAF made donations to ACT3 in part to allow them to continue performances after difficulties due to COVID-19.
North Atlanta Voices
SSAF has sponsored the North Atlanta Voices.
North Atlanta Voices, Atlanta’s only non-auditioned chorus, is an experience rooted in music education for those seeking to engage with their community and cultivate their love of music and singing. SSAF donated toward their first concert in two years due to COVID-19, bringing our community together again to celebrate the power of both music and voices in song.
