To the Nines” Fundraiser at MAD Arts to Celebrate Creativity While Supporting Arts Education and South Florida Artists
On Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 6–10 p.m., Art Prevails Project will transform MAD Arts Museum, 481 S. Federal Highway in Dania Beach, into an immersive world of creativity for To the Nines, a fundraising experience supporting the organization’s year-round work through performance and education.
Inspired by the nine muses of Greek mythology, To the Nines invites guests to experience art rather than merely observe it. Throughout the evening, artistic expression will unfold across MAD Arts, a state-of-the-art museum known for blending digital innovation, technology and experiential art.
Guests can expect an interactive painting experience, custom-written poetry, a live harpist, a fashion show, pop-up theatrical performances, live music, and artistic surprises that celebrate the many ways creativity connects and inspires.
“To the Nines celebrates what becomes possible when we create space for artists, young people, and communities to experience the arts’ power,” said Darius Daughtry, founder and executive artistic director of Art Prevails Project. “We want people to walk into MAD Arts, be surrounded by creativity, and understand that their support makes this work possible throughout the year.”
For the Art Prevails Project, the fundraiser is more than a single evening. It is an investment in work at the intersection of the arts, education and community.
Through the literary and performing arts, the organization creates opportunities for young people and adults to discover their voices, experience culturally relevant programming, and connect through storytelling and performance.
Its work includes:
<ul>
<li>Arts education: Bringing teaching artists and creative programming into schools and classrooms, providing students with opportunities to write, perform, explore, and express themselves.</li>
<li>Our Voices: Creating literary experiences that elevate storytelling, poetry, and spoken word while amplifying community voices.</li>
<li>Live performances: Producing culturally relevant theatrical, musical, poetic, and multidisciplinary experiences.</li>
<li>Artist opportunities: Providing platforms for poets, actors, musicians, dancers, writers and other creatives to develop and share their work.</li>
<li>Community engagement: Using performance and education to create spaces where people can see themselves and their experiences reflected in the art.</li>
</ul>
At the center of that work is a simple belief: everyone deserves access to the arts and the opportunity to discover their own creative voice.
As arts and cultural organizations navigate an increasingly uncertain funding environment, community support is critical to sustaining programs that reach students, employ artists, and make arts experiences accessible.
“The need for creative spaces isn’t disappearing,” Daughtry said. “Our communities need places where young people discover that their stories matter, where artists can create, and where people can come together and see themselves reflected. Every ticket, sponsorship, and contribution through To the Nines helps us continue that work.”
Rather than a traditional gala, To the Nines is designed as an experience in motion, with guests discovering performances, installations and artistic encounters throughout the evening. MAD Arts’ fusion of art, technology and immersive environments provides a fitting backdrop for experiences inspired by the nine muses, traditionally associated with poetry, music, dance, history, comedy, tragedy and other forms of artistic expression.
Proceeds will support the Art Prevails Project’s arts education, literary arts, live performance, artist development and community programming. Individuals, corporations, foundations and community partners are invited to participate through sponsorships, ticket purchases, contributions and donations of auction items or experiences.
