VISION GALA
The Vision Gala is Dance Theatre of Harlem’s most anticipated event each year. Welcoming more than 2,000 audience members to the gala performance at New York City Center and 350 dinner guests from the philanthropic, business, and social communities to the Ziegfeld Ballroom, the Vision Gala is an evening to celebrate one of the world’s foremost ballet companies, its artists, students, community partners, supporters, and the legacies of DTH Co-founders Arthur Mitchell and Karel Shook.
This year, DTH’s spring season performances will be dedicated to our luminary and iconic Artistic Director Virginia Johnson’s coveted career as she takes her final bow.
