Special Event

Spark: CAM’s 2026 Gala

Celebrate the power of art to create momentum and ignite change at Spark: CAM’s 2026 Gala.

Spark is the moment a young artist feels their future expand—the shine in their eyes when a new technique clicks. It’s the shift in perspective when a visitor encounters contemporary art that stays with them long after they leave. And it is embodied in this year’s event leaders—chairs Bob and Jane Clark and honorary chairs Alexis M. Cossé and Erik Karanik—whose unwavering commitment to supporting diverse artistic voices and access to arts education continues to shine across the region. Get your tickets and join us in igniting a spark that will continue to glow for years to come.
