Save the Date for ARTSGALA 2014 - April 12, 2014

Wright State University’s annual ArtsGala, held April 6, 2013, offered patrons a night of unparalleled entertainment. Fine and performing arts students displayed their rich talents throughout the Creative Arts Center and guests were treated to a dizzying array of food and fun. Attendance was higher than ever before with over 630 patrons on hand to support student scholarships in art, music, theatre, dance, and motion pictures. The finals numbers aren’t in just yet, but it’s safe to say that in the 14 years the university has hosted the event, over $1.5 million dollars will have been raised for arts students at Wright State.
