Chowan Arts Council’s Annual Gala 

The Chowan Arts Council’s Annual Gala will bring together our members, artists, supporters, community leaders, and arts advocates for an unforgettable evening centered around our theme: “ART – It’s Personal.”

Art is a deeply individual—and universally shared—experience. Every guest will bring their own story, perspective, and emotional connection to the arts. The Gala invites attendees to explore these personal connections through:

  • Immersive artistic installations inspired by stories from our community
  • Live performances and artist showcases that highlight the intimate connection between creation and audience
  • Silent & Live Auctions featuring original works and one-of-a-kind experiences that hold personal significance
  • Music by the Brian Smith Band adding more energy and fun to the evening

Date: May 30, 2026
Location: The Venue
Tickets: $100 each

Why “ART – It’s Personal” Matters

Art is more than performance or expression—it’s connection. It’s identity. It’s memory. It’s discovery.
Your support and ticket purchase fuels the personal impact art can make in:

  • A child discovering creativity for the first time
  • An emerging artist finding their voice
  • A family experiencing art together
  • A community strengthened through shared cultural moments

By supporting the Chowan Arts Council, you’re not just giving to the arts—you’re investing in experiences that resonate deeply and personally with thousands of people throughout Chowan County and beyond each year.
