Fox Gives, the philanthropic initiative of Atlanta's iconic Fox Theatre, has named four Georgia high schools to participate in its 2026–27 All-Access Pass program. The selected schools—Cedartown High School, Cross Keys High School, New Manchester High School, and Rome High School—will gain year-long access to mentorship and networking opportunities within the arts and entertainment sector. This expansion reflects the historic venue's commitment to nurturing emerging talent across the state.
The All-Access Pass program creates structured pathways for students to engage directly with entertainment industry professionals, offering insights into career possibilities in a field that significantly impacts Atlanta's cultural economy. By introducing high school students to behind-the-scenes operations and creative processes at a world-class venue, the initiative aims to inspire the next generation of arts leaders and entrepreneurs who may shape Georgia's creative industries.
Such workforce development efforts underscore the importance of arts and cultural institutions as economic engines in their regions. For Atlanta business leaders, programs like this demonstrate how established cultural anchors can extend their impact beyond downtown, building human capital pipelines that strengthen the broader regional economy and talent market across Georgia.
