Six decades. One extraordinary night.
On Saturday, April 25, 2026, Vashon Center for the Arts invites you to step into something truly special — an evening of elegance, celebration, and the enduring power of the arts.
The 60th Anniversary Diamond Gala is our most anticipated event of the year, and this year, it shines brighter than ever. For sixty years, VCA has been the creative heart of Vashon Island — nurturing artists, inspiring students, and bringing our community together through world-class performances, exhibitions, and education. This is the night we celebrate all of that, together.
Expect a breathtaking evening: a glittering cocktail reception and silent auction followed by a premier seated dinner, live auction, and entertainment that will leave you feeling moved, inspired, and grateful to be part of this community.
Your presence — and your generosity — directly funds the arts education, scholarships, performances, and exhibitions that make VCA a place where creativity truly comes alive. Come raise a glass to 60 remarkable years, and help us write the next chapter.
This is the night Vashon dresses up. We hope to see you there.
