Dear Community Member,

We are excited to invite you to Blair Bash, an annual fundraising event hosted by the Blair Center for the Arts (BCA, the Blair). As a 501c3 non-profit arts organization in Republic County, Kansas, our mission is to provide quality arts and entertainment opportunities to counter the artistic and cultural void in rural locations. Our goal is to improve the community’s mental health and quality of life through arts and entertainment programming and by maintaining a venue that can host school, business, and community events.

The Blair Bash is an excellent opportunity to meet others in the community who share our passion for making a difference. Join us for our Totally Tubular Event on Saturday, October 5th, 2024, at the Commercial Building at the Fairgrounds in Belleville, KS. Doors open at 6:00 PM, with a meal catered by Jitters at 7 PM and dessert by CandiKorn Creativities. Entertainment includes music from the 80’s, with 80’s attire encouraged! The event will end at 11 PM.

We hope you will support our cause by sponsoring the event, donating auction items, or purchasing tickets. Ticket information: $50 Individual tickets - $90 Couple - $425 Table of Eight. We depend on the generous support of individual donors and businesses to continue our mission. If you are willing to donate, please get in touch with us at manager@theblairtheater.com or call 785-527-8080.

Thank you in advance for your support. We look forward to seeing you at the Blair Bash!

In the year 2000, the Blair Center for the Arts Foundation was formed and began the process of renovating the theater. Over the next eight years, lots of work was done, and through the help and support of our local community, the theater opened again to the public for the first time in over 12 years. Like many similar organizations around the country, COVID-19 has had a negative effect on our mission. However, we’re still moving forward with trying to build a facility to provide quality entertainment and a community gathering place for the residents of Belleville, Republic County, and the greater North Central Kansas region.
