Arte y Vida ~ A Día de Muertos Fiesta & Fundraiser for The Cathedral's 7th Anniversary
THURS., OCTOBER 29TH | 7-10PM
Join The Cathedral for Arte y Vida — an evening honoring memory, art, and community as the gallery celebrates seven years of championing local women and nonbinary artists. Step through the doors of our gallery and find yourself transported to Mexico. For one night only, we'll transform into a vibrant, living ofrenda. Marigolds will spill across the space like a work of art, candlelight will glows against the arches, and the room will comes alive with culture, color, and celebration. This is our only fundraiser of the year, and every ticket and bid goes straight back to the artists who make this space what it is.

ABOUT THE FUNDRAISER: In seven years, The Cathedral has grown its collective from 14 to 40 local women and nonbinary artists and put roughly $750,000 directly into artists' pockets — nearly $150,000 more than a traditional 50-50 gallery commission structure would have paid out. As a small, independently owned business, the last few years haven't been easy, and nights like this one are what keep The Cathedral's artist-first commission structure alive, keep its doors open to local artist-forward programming, and let it partner with other local arts organizations to offer affordable space for their events too.
