About the Gala

Each year, the OCSA Foundation hosts a themed, black-tie Gala, featuring a spectacular student performance, incredible silent and live auctions, and a gourmet dinner. Gala is OCSA’s largest, most prestigious fundraiser of the year, raising more than $2 million annually. All proceeds from the event contribute toward the $10 million needed annually to continue providing our tuition-free, donation-dependent arts programs. Please consider joining us for, or helping to underwrite, one of the most entertaining and unforgettable evenings of the year.
