Event Info

Festivities begin with cocktail hour at 6:00 p.m. Grab a drink and stroll the Space Odyssey exhibit.

The main event starts at 7:00 p.m. It is sure to be a fun-filled evening with great food, conversation, and an exciting round of bidding for some amazing live auction items, including special art projects from each class at DWS.

We will honor our alumni students, teachers and board members and hear from one of our founders, Ina Jaehnig.

The silent auction will open at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, February 24 and close on Saturday, March 1 at 8:00 p.m. Since the silent auction is virtual, you do not need to purchase a ticket to the live event to participate. However, you do need to register for the silent auction on the registration page. (registration opens Feb 24)

Everybody who has purchased a ticket to the gala will receive a link by text or email to login to the online bidding site. Only those attending the in-person event will have the opportunity to bid on live items. Be sure to log on to browse the wide-range of wonderful items, gift cards, sporting events and vacation experiences.
