Art Dinner 2025

The most anticipated event of the gala season, Art Dinner unites more than 300 of Austin’s inspiring creatives, collectors, and art enthusiasts for a legendary evening. Experience striking installations, exceptional cuisine, an exciting live auction, and a magnetic dance floor on the resplendent lakeside grounds at Laguna Gloria.

Impact of your support

This isn’t just any gala– it’s a dynamic night of non-stop entertainment, all while powering The Contemporary Austin’s exhibitions and education programs. Table sales and proceeds from the art auction and paddles up raise the critical funds necessary to continue this important work and in the spirit of supporting creativity, participating auction artists receive up to 50% of their artwork’s sale price.
