The Augusta Arts Council has an annual drive to solicit yearly gifts from all constituents to enable the Arts Council to present quality, varied artistic programming while continuing to maintain and restore Augusta's architectural centerpiece . . . the Augusta Historic Theatre.  The Augusta Arts Council hosts annual programs and theatre events such as the Bugs Bunny Club, art exhibits, live theatre productions, the Legacy Arts Ensemble Festival Choir, children's theatre and more.  The Augusta Historic Theatre is also available for class reunions and guided tours.
