A collaboration between the Garner Chamber of Commerce, the Town of Garner and local business sponsors, the series was the brainchild of local arts aficionado Tim Stevens. He was awarded the United Arts Council of Raleigh and Wake County’s Individual Supporter of the Arts Award for his efforts.

The Garner Performing Arts Center is located at 742 West Garner Road, in downtown Garner.
