Kirkland Arts Center Gala 2023

June 2023

The Kirkland Arts Center Gala held on Friday, June 2, 2023 was an extraordinary evening that brought together art enthusiasts and members of the community for a night of creativity and support. The gala featured a silent and live auction with art pieces showcasing the creativity and ambition of the KAC community, a dessert dash, and remarks by members of the KAC board and artists. 

 

GFS Events supported KAC by overseeing the event timeline, spearheading vendor communications, and providing logistical guidance. GFS Events managed the timeline, oversaw check-in and check-out and acted as stage manager during the event. In addition, we provided a volunteer coordinator who oversaw all volunteers for the night of the event. Our collaboration with the Kirkland Art Center team, all vendors and the Meydenbauer Center helped to provide a seamless experience for guests. 

Fun Fact
The Kirkland Art Center embodies their mission by asking their artists to provide auction items for the event.
"Working with GFS Event enabled us to host our successful annual 2023 Gala. The entire GFS team provided expertise in event planning, fundraising strategy, and a spirited, collaborative approach that complemented every aspect of our planning, execution, and post-event review. Gazala’s consultation and focus on service were invaluable along the many complex steps of event planning–especially on the day/night of our gala! It has been a rewarding experience, and I recommend GFS Events!"
