At the 2023 ArtsKSU Gala, you will be inspired and awed by our talented ArtsKSU students! All four units of the College of the Arts will be represented at the Gala: School of Art and Design, Department of Dance, Bailey School of Music, and Department of Theatre and Performance Studies. 

Enjoy a cash bar and hors d'oeuvres, followed by dinner featuring your entrée selection. Your meal will end on a sweet note with a gourmet dessert.

You may bid on silent auction items until 8 p.m. in the evening, when you may participate in an exciting (and sometimes competitive!) live auction led by auctioneers Tarryn and Jason Troutman. Proceeds from the ArtsKSU Gala auctions will benefit annual student scholarships in the College of the Arts at KSU. You may register early to skip the registration lines at the Gala. 

Parking: Convenient, covered parking is available in the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre's garage for $10. (Please note: Only cards are accepted for parking service, no cash.)
