Defying Expectations: An Evening in Three Acts

The annual Gala for the Sarasota Performing Arts Foundation

The Gala supports the Foundation’s education and community outreach programs, helping bring immersive arts experiences, scholarships, and creative opportunities to students and communities across Sarasota and Manatee counties.


This year’s experiential evening is being produced by LBK Chamber member Events of a Lifetime Productions and will feature a special performance by the iconic Idina Menzel.


A limited number of gala tickets are still available. Those who would like to support the mission can also participate in the online silent auction. Additionally, a limited number of tickets for the show and After Party only have recently been released.
