Ashland has always had a picture-perfect charm, and now you can help capture that spirit by voting for Downtown Ashland Association in the 2024 NIA Nonprofit Photo Contest! Voting is open until November 22, 2024, and each vote brings us closer to securing up to $5,000 in funding that would go directly into supporting our vibrant, small-town community.
This year, we submitted a stunning snapshot that perfectly reflects the joy and dreams of Ashland’s young dancers. Taken during the Ashland Dance Academy’s spring showcase screening at the Ashland Theatre, the photo captures families lining the red carpet as young dancers strutted down a runway sprinkled with stars bearing their names. Just like Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, this scene was filled with excitement and dreams. In the Center of the Universe, we believe in turning aspirations into achievements—just like this moment captured on film.
