Ballet Arkansas Honors Clark
March 2020
Ballet Arkansas recently honored sponsors at its annual Turning Pointe Gala. Colonial’s president, Clark Trim, was presented with the Ballet’s “Above the Barre” award for extraordinary community leadership and arts advocacy – an award the ballet rarely presents. “Clark and Colonial have done so much for the ballet, and we wouldn't be where we are today without them”, Executive and Artistic Director, Michael Fothergill, said.
The Turning Pointe Gala raises funds to support Ballet Arkansas’ mission to give Arkansans the opportunity to experience dance through its performances and educational outreach programs.
But “About Us” isn’t really about us. It’s about the people who trust Colonial to help make their celebrations exceptional. They’re our customers. And they are uniquely qualified to complete this page.
