Collage’s Annual Gala is one of the city’s premier annual celebrations. Now in its 13th year, this is an enriching affair with performances by Collage’s world-class professional company and students from the Collage Dance Conservatory. Experience live music with special performances by acclaimed jazz artist Wendy Moten, soul singer Talibah Safiya, Carl Caspersen Jazz Trio and Ensemble X, delicious cuisine by Chef Melissa Swearing, and thirst-quenching cocktails during an elevated afternoon affair in support of the Collage Dance Conservatory.
The Collage Dance Conservatory trains more kids of color in a classical art form than any other non-profit in Memphis or the Mid-South.
Since its founding in 2009, the Conservatory has trained more 5,000 students, regardless of their ability to pay. We boast the largest ballet program for boys in the city and subsidized tuition for more than 50% of our students.
By attending our 13th Annual Gala Fundraiser, you’re actively supporting the expansion of the Conservatory’s programming, scholarships, training and impact.
If you are unable to attend but would still like to support the work of the Collage Dance Conservatory, please consider making a donation HERE.
