The Academy Center of the Arts staff, Board of Trustees, and 2022 Gala Committee are thrilled to announce the 2022 Gala, featuring a performance by Straight No Chaser on Saturday, September 17th in the Historic Academy of Music Theatre. This year, we celebrate the arts in harmony. When our community comes together in celebration of diversity, culture, and the arts, we can make a glorious – harmonious – impact together.



If you are new to the Academy Gala, this is an UNFORGETTABLE night of entertainment and fundraising. Regardless of your capacity to give to our fundraising efforts, your presence and advocacy for the arts helps us reach our goal which is to fulfill our mission of serving our community through arts and culture. Thank you for your interest in strengthening the arts in downtown Lynchburg.
