More than just a gala, this is a vibrant celebration of artistic diversity and transformation. Experience immersive art, captivating performances, and breathtaking visuals as we honor those shaping the future of the arts.
Art is not just an expression—it is essential. It enriches lives, strengthens communities, and fosters creativity that fuels innovation.
This year’s theme is Kaleidoscope of Community, which will be much more than just an event; it is a testament to the transformative power and diversity of the arts and a call to support their future. Through immersive experiences, captivating performances, and stunning visuals, we invite you to witness firsthand the impact of art in our community as we honor those who are paving the path forward and supporting the arts in multiple spectrums.
Expect an unforgettable evening in a one-of-a-kind venue— at the Modesto Silos, from 5 to 9PM. This beautiful space is where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and art comes to life in ways you never imagined.
Expect the Unexpected: Live art, interactive installations, and performances that blur the line between reality and imagination.
Dress Code: Artistic Elegance— Summer semi-formal/ cocktail attire with a surrealist twist. Think bold colors or prints, whimsical accessories, and avant-garde details. Have fun with it!
