Dancers from the Department of Dance will perform cutting edge choreography. Musicians from the Bailey School of Music will kick off the evening with jazz, followed by percussion and relaxing piano. Finally, musical theatre students from the Department of Theatre and Performance Studies will entertain patrons with songs from the Broadway hit Rent.  

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 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.
