The goal of the Bingham Arts Series is to contribute to arts and culture in the Clemmons area. In its second year, the series is offering four visual and performing arts events in 2024-2025. The series is underwritten by the Thad and Mary Bingham Community Fund of the Shallow Ford Foundation. Thad and Mary loved the community and set up a Fund with the Foundation to help it flourish long after their lifetimes. The Bingham Arts Series reflects the Foundation's and the donors' desire for philanthropy to further Clemmons area health and vibrancy. Check back to this page for the latest event information.

In the Moravian church, the Band is a integral part of music programming and the rich heritage of band participation.

They perform at various on-campus events as well as at local churches and community gatherings. They are currently celebrating the release of our latest studio album, “Run to You” that is available on all major streaming platforms! Minor Variation's music-based ministry started in 1998 under the name "Agape" — the Greek word describing love at it's highest caliber — the unconditional love that God has for his children. Before becoming Minor Variation in 2005, the group was also named One Accord. This year, Minor Variation is celebrating 25 years as a sisterhood dedicated to growing closer together and closer to Christ.
