DVAA’s 50th Anniversary Gala

Saturday, May 16, 2026

We are delighted to invite you to our 50th Anniversary Gala, taking place on May 16th at the brand new terminal building at Sullivan County International Airport, Swan Lake, NY.

This once-in-a-lifetime event will commemorate DVAA’s first fifty years of advancing the arts in Sullivan County and look forward to what the next fifty years has in store for us all.

As well as being among the first members of the public to view the stunning new terminal building, your evening will include:

• Installations and performances from a who’s who of local artists

• Locally sourced, seasonal menu prepared by Chef Oscar Vargas (Flavor Cult)

• A curated auction of one-of-a-kind local items and experiences

• Special guest appearances

• The world premiere of a newly commissioned documentary featurette about DVAA’s history and impact on Sullivan County and the surrounding area

• The opportunity to mingle with local luminaries as you celebrate half a century of advancing local artists and help to fund the next half century.

Proceeds from the gala will go towards DVAA’s 50 Forward Fundraising Campaign, which will help to fund our year-long anniversary programming and establish an endowment to help secure the next 50 years of arts programming. DVAA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Donations are fully tax-deductible.
