Houston Arts Alliance is delighted to invite you to our 2025 gala, Luminescence, at the magnificent Thompson Hotel on Saturday, September 27. Prepare for a radiant evening showcasing original artwork by local artists, delicious cuisine, specialty beverages, and fabulous company—all in support of Houston’s incomparable creative arts community.
Your support of our gala is essential to sustain the privately funded programs that make Houston Arts Alliance a cornerstone of our local arts community. While the City of Houston provides earmarked funding for specific civic art and grant initiatives, your contributions directly support our community-building and outreach programs, such as quarterly Arts Community Meetings and public educational and advocacy events. Revenue from our gala also supports our Disaster Services Program, allowing us to integrate preparedness into our arts advocacy efforts, which helps us support artists and arts organizations in times of crisis. Your generosity makes it possible for HAA to remain nimble, collaborative, and responsive to the evolving needs of Houston’s arts sector.
