Arts Gala
Saturday March 2, 2024
6:30 to 11:00 pm
Celebrate the Season of Love at our Annual Arts Gala!
“Peace, Love, and Art” Arts Gala will bring us all together for a night of music from the season of love. The evening will begin at 6:30pm with the opening of the silent auction, cash bar, and hors d’oeuvres. Special music will set the mood during cocktail hour as guests peruse auction items donated by area artists, individuals, and businesses. Before the catered dinner, you can participate in the oral auction featuring special items like original artwork and one-of-a-kind experiences. Following dinner, the band gets you to the dance floor.
Feel free to wear period dress in the spirit of the “Peace, Love, and Art,” 60s-70s Rock theme, but it’s not required. Otherwise the dress code is formal.

Important Information
How do reservations work?
Seating is assigned at tables. You should purchase the number of tickets for your party. You can tell staff the last names of parties you would like to be seated with for table reservations, or you will be assigned (by staff) to a table.
If you purchase reserved seat(s), you will be assigned a reservation according to the number of seats you purchase in a single transaction. For example, if you purchase two tickets, you will have two seats reserved at a table. Other guests will be seated with you, according to staff discretion. Staff may contact you to confirm the names of guest included in your party to complete your reservation and assign bids numbers for the auctions.
What do seats/tables cost?
Individual Seat - $100
You may purchase multiple single seats in a single transaction for a group reservation. We will need the names of each guest in your party and how to assign bid numbers to your group. Staff will contact you for this information to confirm your registration.
