The nonprofit Enspire Arts is bringing more than 150 performers to the Joyce Garver Theater in Camas on February 28, offering a high‑profile regional arts event that may appeal to families and students across southwest Washington, including those in Cowlitz County. According to event listings published by Discover Events, the performance is scheduled from 7 to 9 p.m. at 1500 NE Garfield Street and will feature collaborations across music, dance, and vocal performance.

The program includes performances by several Enspire Arts student ambassadors, along with jazz pianist Clay Giberson, singer-songwriter Owen Kortz, and baritone Zachary Lenox. Event organizers noted that the evening will also include a world premiere by local composer Nicole Buetti. Ticket information published by Zeffy lists general admission at $20 for adults and $10 for students.

The Clark County–based ambassador program supporting young artists is also highlighted in public school communications. Battle Ground Public Schools reported that River HomeLink student Eva Cryblskey is among the 2025–26 Enspire Arts Ambassadors who are scheduled to perform at the event. That report, published on the district’s website, confirmed the ambassadors’ participation and described the program’s focus on mentorship and youth‑led arts projects (Battle Ground Public Schools).

Additional event confirmation appears in regional calendars, including AllEvents and Vancouver Family Magazine, both of which list the February 28 performance and note the mix of professional and student performers.

Why this matters

While the Enspire Extravaganza is a Clark County event, it offers a regional opportunity for young artists, families, and arts supporters across southwest Washington. Cowlitz County residents often participate in or travel to arts programming in neighboring counties, and events like this serve as accessible cultural outlets that can complement local arts efforts and youth programs. The inclusion of student ambassadors from multiple districts underscores the broader regional investment in youth creativity and educational opportunities.
