Carnival of Curiosities

The Lensic’s gala is currently at capacity. However, cancellations often occur. We would love to add you to our waitlist! If seating becomes available, we will contact waitlisted individuals on a first come, first serve basis. Please click “Join Waitlist” above if you would like to be contacted in the event of an opening.

Join us for a spectacular time at the Carnival of Curiosities: the Lensic’s Annual Gala Fundraiser for Education! Like the wonders of a carnival, the Lensic brings together an extraordinary array of performances that spark imagination, inspire fascination, and create lasting memories. But the real magic happens behind the scenes, where your vital support opens the doors of discovery to over 13,000 New Mexico students each year. 

All Gala tickets support the nonprofit Lensic Performing Arts Center and its life-changing arts education programs.  A portion of your ticket is tax-deductible. Please note, seating is limited. Refunds will only be processed in the event we cannot accommodate your request.

Thank you to our sponsors:
