Immersive Experience
The Executive Director and Board of ACH Clear Pathways warmly welcome you to the 2026 Immersive Gala as we celebrate 16 years of creativity, community, and artistic expression.
After last year’s Gala, one guest shared:
“Normally you go to a gala and you eat food, hear speeches, and you’re somewhat bored to tears. The tears that I had were tears of joy, awe, and amazement. My family loved the concept, and it was great to be together in such a warm and nurturing environment. It was like being home, and I hope you will do it again and again.”
We heard you and we’re doing it again! We invite you to experience the creativity and growth of our Artistic Organization.
Welcome to the Immersive Gala!
Live Entertainment
Experience an evening where rhythm, creativity, and visual expression come together. Live music from The Beat Keepers, produced and instructed by ACH’s Drumming Major, Mr. Jevon, will fill the evening with energy and movement, while Larry Bridgett Artistry brings the canvas to life through an immersive live painting experience. Together, these performances create a multisensory celebration of music, art, and creativity that guests will remember long after the evening ends.
