George Mason University held its 14th annual ARTS by George! benefit September 28, 2019. The annual event served as a fundraiser benefiting student scholarships in the arts, as well as several of the university's extracurricular arts programs.
This year's event was headlined by Tony winner Audra McDonald, who performed a concert of Broadway hits and the Great American Songbook standards after taking time to sit down with George Mason students for a closed conversation, moderated by Erin Gardiner of the Mason School of Theater.
