The Cultural Arts Council Douglasville/Douglas County (CAC) presents its annual Gala and Auction themed “A Season of Splendor,” on November 21st at the Douglasville Conference Center starting at 6 p.m. Tickets are available online at the CAC’s website. Executive Director Emily Lightner states “You’re invited to a night of entertainment and fine dining! This year’s annual Gala & Auction is very special because right now the CAC is celebrating our 40th year of service to the community. This year’s theme evokes Bridgerton, and everything from the decorations, to the food, to the entertainment will be enchanting.”
Tickets for “A Season of Splendor” are available for $200 each with CAC members enjoying a discounted rate of $180. Additionally, tables seating groups of 10 for businesses, clubs, and organizations can be reserved for $1,750. Attendees will also be treated to an open bar during the entirety of the event. The proceeds generated from ticket sales and the silent auction play a vital role in funding the CAC’s programming efforts. These initiatives aim to develop and inspire appreciation for the arts while fostering active participation among both Douglasville/Douglas County residents and visitors. Additionally, the CAC’s annual gala is when the coveted Arts Advocacy Award winners are announced. The winners of the award are people in the community who have made strides to support and grow local art and culture.
The auction boasts an enticing selection of items, including popular experiences like tickets to the Shakespear Tavern Playhouse, vacation getaways, and wine tastings. A
diverse range of meaningful gifts from high-end spirits to luxury handbags and fine jewelry have been donated by our partners. In addition, numerous local businesses have graciously provided gift certificates for their products and curated specialty gift baskets. These tempting offerings are a perfect opportunity for attendees to either indulge themselves or explore early holiday gift options.
Over the course of its 40 years, the CAC has provided hundreds of thousands of residents with free in school education performances; free art supplies; huge community events like Taste of Douglasville and intimate arts experiences such as open-to-the-public exhibits with free opening receptions; public art installations; an art sharing program for local businesses and organization to easily feature local artists; crafting, music, and art classes; and so much more. Their current capital campaign to build an Arts & Culture Campus in downtown Douglasville is well on its way with major investments from government, business, organization and individual contributions. “A Season of Splendor,” in addition to being an elegant experience, is an opportunity for locals to get an update on what the CAC is achieving through their support.
