Why is it worth it to purchase a ticket to the Gala?
A normal night out in Charlotte will easily cost you $100  or more with dinner, four hours of drinks and entertainment. By purchasing a ticket, you are helping to make a difference in the life of a child by giving them the opportunitiy to attend art camps at the Mint. This school year, many field trips to the Museum and to other art performances were cut, limiting the exposure children have with the arts. Your donation when purchasing a ticket will provide the opportunity for some of these area children to continue to have the exposure to the arts that has been taken away and YOU have the opportunity to have a wonderful evening out!


Tickets include beer & wine, a lavish buffet, live entertainment from the Swingin' Richards and an evening full of fun all for a great cause!

Exclusive VIP Package
Includes all of the above PLUS an open bar, specialty desserts, a chance to win an overnight stay plus breakfast for 2 at the Holiday Inn Charlotte Center City, access to the VIP lounge (pictured above), specialty music and the first 100 people to purchase VIP tickets will receive a swag bag filled with fabulous gifts from local vendors!

Guests must be 21 or over to attend.
