✨ The 2020 Art for All Gala, On Demand ✨

Get inspired and support our programs – on your own schedule and from your own home.

We may not be able to celebrate in-person this year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate. Please join us for our On Demand Art for All Gala!

How it works: We’re featuring inspiring performances from artists who were scheduled to perform at our in-person Gala. Pick an evening, treat yourself to our at-home Gala whenever it’s convenient for you – and enjoy! We hope you’ll also consider supporting our arts programs with a donation of any amount.

Suggested schedule:

6:00pm

Grab a cocktail and some appetizers (cheese board anyone?!) and check out this performance by Teaching Artist Runako Jahi:

Dinner time! Multi-course meal, delivery, or whatever makes it special. While you enjoy your meal, tune into dance piece “Walc Chopina” by Urban Gateways Touring Group Elements Ballet:

Dessert for all! Got a leftover pint of ice cream in the freezer? Bust it out! And maybe grab your dancing shoes while you’re at it. Check out these Latin beats from Touring Group Son Monarcas:

We hope our virtual Gala makes for an enjoyable and creative night in – and that our incredible artists spark your inspiration. Consider making a donation today to support Urban Gateways, our artists, and our arts programs for young Chicagoans. This pandemic is a challenging time for us all, but with your support we will continue to inspire creativity and impact social change.
