Immersive Experience
Attendees of the Immersive Gala will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on arts experiences, engaging directly with the creative process just as the youth, seniors, and individuals with disabilities we serve do throughout our programs. This interactive experience allows guests to connect with our mission on a personal level while gaining a deeper understanding of the creativity, skill, and passion fostered through ACH Clear Pathways’ programs and services.
Live Entertainment
Enjoy live music from The Beat Keepers, a band produced by ACH’s Drumming Major, along with a captivating live painting by Larry Bridgett. Together, these performances will bring music, movement, and visual art to life throughout the evening.
