ANNIVERSARY GALA
An Evening Above the Clouds
Saturday, April 25, 2026
Join us for An Evening Above the Clouds as we celebrate 16 years of the Hylton Performing Arts Center elevating our community through the arts. Begin the evening with a celestial cocktail reception in the Cumulus Lounge, where you can mingle with business leaders, community changemakers, and arts enthusiasts. Ascend to the Upper Atmosphere for an elegant dinner on the Merchant Hall stage and culminate the evening at the exclusive Club on Cloud Nine after-party, before drifting back down to earth.
Your attendance and generosity directly support the Hylton Center’s mission to serve the greater community through artistic excellence. All ticket sales and sponsorships benefit our wide range of education and community programs and performances, with 10% going to support the Hylton Center Endowment, ensuring a vibrant future for the arts in our region. Proceeds raised on the night of the event directly benefit the Veterans and the Arts Initiative, helping us continue to serve as an outlet for creative expression, community building, and well-being through free workshops and concerts for the military-connected community.
