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 has prepared generations of creative leaders. The special evening will also honor other defining milestones, including the 40th anniversary of ArtCenter100 and the 25th anniversary of Designmatters, while recognizing ArtCenter’s visionary creators.

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 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!
