Join us at the A2AC Gala in celebrating the creative connections and communities we have cultivated, and explore the ongoing impact those connections have made. 

We’re excited to return to our roots this year, beginning the evening in our Gallery. Enjoy a tasteful, strolling supper from Peridot and The Last Word, sip on a signature A2DC cocktail, explore a curated wine auction, and experience a captivating Live Art Performance by artist Noah Kaplan. 

To cap off the evening, we’ll take a short stroll to a rooftop after-party at Bamboo, where we’ll enjoy live music, dessert, and the continued joy of connection.
