ArtCenter 2026 Gala

Celebrate ArtCenter’s legacy and help support its future.
Registration is now open for the ArtCenter 2026 Gala!

The ArtCenter 2026 Gala marks a moment of reflection, celebration and forward momentum for ArtCenter College of Design. More than an evening of inspiration, the Gala is a platform for impact.

This year, we commemorate the 50th anniversary of our iconic Hillside Campus, celebrating five decades of world-class art and design education that have prepared generations of creative leaders. The evening highlights other defining milestones, including the 40th anniversary of ArtCenter100, with a special tribute to its founder and ArtCenter Trustee Emeritus, the late Alyce de Roulet Williamson. It further celebrates the 25th anniversary of Designmatters and ArtCenter’s visionary creators and icons, whose work defines its legacy.

As we honor this legacy, your support helps empower the artists and designers of tomorrow by expanding access to an enriched learning environment where students learn to influence culture, industry and society with creativity and purpose.

Join us for an unforgettable evening that honors our past, celebrates our vibrant community, commemorates the vision and generosity of Alyce de Roulet Williamson, and invests in what comes next. Together, we will mark the past and design the future.

We look forward to celebrating with you. Register today!
