Don’t miss this year’s Friends of LVA Foundation's 2026 Experience the Arts Gala - “Brilliance” on Friday, February 6, 2026.
The foundation’s single biggest fundraiser of the year, our Gala offers so much more than dinner and an auction. Each year, supporters gather to be dazzled by the astonishing talent of LVA students from across the school’s music, theater, dance, and visual arts & media conservatories. We hope you’ll join us to be moved by and support the next generation of artists, creators, performers, and leaders.
The funds raised fuel the outstanding programs, technology, and opportunities
that make LVA’s tuition-free performing arts education truly world-class. Through its
fundraising efforts, in just the past several months, the Friends of LVA Foundation has
deployed more than $100,000 to support this award-winning public high school, with
investments that include student scholarships, access to its college and career-readiness platform, new theater lighting and sound equipment, and the school’s renowned Master Artist Series – a transformative program that brings professional actors, musicians, visual artists, and performers directly to LVA’s students, offering unparalleled opportunities for artistic growth.
There are so many ways to get involved in this annual celebration of the arts in our community, including purchasing tickets, donating auction items, and sponsoring the event. For those details, please follow this link.
