Join us for an evening of live music, food, cocktails, art, and tons of surprises! See below for details and check out the FAQ at the bottom of the page for more information! Please note that this is an open-bar event and all guests are required to be 21 and over.

Live Music—Too Deep
This incredible group from Rockford has been performing for more than 35 years. Their sound is influenced by 1970s/1980s soul, gospel, and funk.

Food + Bar—Abreo
Cafeteria favorites are reimagined by the creative and talented team at Abreo overseen by owner/head chef Paul Sletten. This is an open-bar event with cocktails crafted by Abreo.

Pep Rally—
This additional ticket grants you early access to the evening’s festivities and a private look at the first exhibition in our newly renovated spaces! We’ll also have champagne and special surprises!

Homecoming Court—
When you purchase a Homecoming Gala Ticket you’ll have the opportunity to nominate someone to the Homecoming Court. The top 5 men and women will be announced at the Gala with one of each getting crowned live! Get your friends together and decide who you’ll nominate for the best chance to have someone you know move to the next round.
