What’s in Store?
Your host for the evening, the ever-charismatic Eric Braman, will lead us through a joyful ride of jaw-dropping performances, moving tributes, and maybe even a few surprises (more details coming soon!).
We’ll raise a glass to the artists, leaders, and partners who have shaped our arts scene—and those who are boldly carrying it forward. Our awards, presented by special guests including Mayor Kaarin Knudson, recognize exceptional individuals and organizations that have significantly shaped Eugene's artistic landscape. This years honorees are:
- Eugene Arts & Letters Award: Vanessa Fuller
- Fentress Award: Don Dexter Gallery
- Arts & Business Partnership Award: QSL Print Communications & The John G. Shedd Institute for the Arts
- Dave Hauser Business of the Year: Eugene Weekly
- NEW! Visionary Award: Fermata Ballet Collective
Each ticket includes TWO drink tokens—redeemable for beer, wine, or non-alcoholic drinks (cheers to that!). Stick around after the show for our reception, featuring scrumptious hors d'oeuvres, good company, and great conversation. It’s the perfect time to toast the honorees, connect with fellow creatives, and keep the celebration going.
Join us as we honor the past, celebrate the present, and invest in a vibrant, visionary future for Eugene’s arts community. It’s going to be a night to remember—and we want you there.
