Gala & Art Auction Sponsorship

Each year, our Gala & Art Auction serves as our major fundraiser supporting our outreach programs. As our most well attended, popular, and recognized community event, our community gathers together to celebrate and support The Bay School as an important provider of art experiences to Mathews and the Middle Peninsula. 

Our 2024 Annual Gala & Art Auction was held September 28 and celebrated its 27th year as a dynamic evening featuring live and silent auctions, raffles, live music, and decadent fare. The 2024 theme was Magical Musical Gala & Art Auction and was held at the historic estate of Auburn, once a vacation home of John Lennon and Yoko Ono and currently the home of Claude and Lynn Hornsby. 

Although the 2024 Gala is over, we are currently in the planning stages for next year, including the development of sponsorship opportunities. As information about the 2025 Gala & Art Auction sponsorship opportunities become available, we'll be sharing it here, so keep checking back.

A big THANK YOU is extended to our 2024 sponsors for making this year's event a tremendous success!

Also critical to the success of our Magical Musical Gala & Art Auction was

 

the generous contributions of auction item donors.  A big thank you also is extended to these fine supporters of The Bay School!
