The First Look Fête

May 1 @ 5:30 PM - 9:30 PM

Friday evening culminates in an elegant, high-end cocktail celebration honoring the extraordinary generosity and bold vision that brought the Stevens & Smith Center to life. This exclusive, ticketed event brings together our closest supporters for a night of gratitude and recognition, just next door in the newly renovated Commons on Vine.

Guests will enjoy curated cocktails, elevated fare, lively entertainment, and one of the very first opportunities to experience the Center up close. It’s more than a party, it’s a toast to the partners and donors who made history possible, and a sparkling first look at what’s ahead.

Tickets are now available!

Tickets begin at $200 per person. We anticipate intense ticket demand. Swift and early registration is strongly encouraged. Sell-out likely.
