Craft Alliance Gala was ARTrageous!

"Best Gala Ever!" "So Much Fun!" These were just some of the enthusiastic comments overheard during our ARTrageous Gala on Friday night. We honored Emerson and their generous support of our Mural Arts Program and David Charak, whose generosity enables us to inspire and engage people through contemporary craft. All proceeds will benefit Craft Alliance’s education, exhibition and community outreach programs.


The evening began with cocktails and our silent auction. We had so many amazing artists donate artwork!

We had a fashion show featuring local designer Michael Drummond's line The Exquisite Corpse! So many fabulous outfits walked down the runway!


Special Guest Auctioneer Julius Hunter lead this year's Live Auction featuring trips to New York City, Cabo San Luca and a Once-in-a-Lifetime Dutch adventure for two! We also auctioned off artwork including a one of a kind charm necklace made by Craft Alliance artists!


Student Kahlil Irving spoke about his time at Craft Alliance and his work in the Crafting-A-Future program. Afterward we had a dutch style auction and raised over $11,000 in scholarships for the CAF program!

After dinner we ended the night with a wonderful After Party with loads of dancing! It was a fabulous success! We thank everyone that came to show their support for Craft Alliance. For more photos from our Gala visit our Facebook Page!
