All proceeds go toward scholarships for WSU\u2019s fine and performing arts students. The event has raised nearly $3 million for arts scholarships during its 22-year history.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe scholarships have a double benefit for the students,\u201d said Joe Deer, WSU artistic director. \u201cIt puts them right in front of the people who are supporting and helping them get through their education and it\u2019s also a beautiful demonstration of what the students are learning and doing here.
