The annual CCA gala plays an essential role in providing need-based scholarships to talented students. Thanks to generous supporters, 79% of CCA students receive scholarships and financial aid—our goal is to ensure that cost is never a barrier to an excellent education for aspiring artists and designers.

Remembering the fun

Previous galas have honored leaders in art and design, from the late Wayne Thiebaud to community leader Roselyne C. Swig, with the goal of raising important support for art and design students. We’ve gathered highlights from past celebrations in a collection of photos, videos, and more.
