2026 Lensic Gala

Get ready for liftoff: the Lensic’s annual fundraiser for arts education returns with the Galactic Gala! We’re embarking on a space voyage to support the 14,500+ kids in New Mexico whose futures are made astronomically brighter with access to the Lensic’s free arts education programs.

This event on the Lensic stage is the party of the season, featuring stellar drinks, dinner, and entertainment, all while creating change of cosmic proportions. 2026 marks the Lensic Performing Arts Center’s silver anniversary, so bring your friends to the cosmos and enjoy a night to remember!

We hope you’ll join our galactic journey as we expand possibilities for students in New Mexico. Be it free school matinees, masterclasses with Lensic artists, internships, or residency programs, the Lensic’s arts education programs open vast new horizons for local kids. Your support will help us continue these programs for years to come. All proceeds support the Lensic’s arts education programs.
