Executive director Amy Erickson in the gallery at Angels Gate Cultural Center

Angels Gate Cultural Center or AGCC announces the return of its biennial fundraiser A wake — a party by artists, for artists and their friends. The theme for 2025 is Awake in the Clouds.

Put on your wings and swing on a star to lift spirits and raise funds for AGCC on May 24. Enjoy high-flying performances, an art auction, prizes for sky-themed costumes and more while supporting the arts and arts education at AGCC.

All proceeds go to support AGCC and its mission to provide space for artists to work and to engage the community through arts education, exhibitions of contemporary art and cultural events.

Partygoers will experience a whimsical evening featuring:

High-flying live performances
Art installations
Cloud 3601 contemporary art exhibition
Silent art auction
Themed drinks and light bites
Sky-themed costume contest with prizes

The arts are vital to building and sustaining healthy communities. Your financial support is essential to help AGCC maintain its current programming.
