Art of the Gala: Tues, October 23 in Austin
The Forrest Four-Cast: October 7, 2018
Only a few tickets remain for the third annual Art of the Gala, which is scheduled from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm on Tuesday, October 23 at the JW Marriott Hotel (110 East 2nd Street) in downtown Austin.
The Art of the Gala is a full-day event to empower area nonprofit organizations, their leadership, and investors with the knowledge and tools to succeed in a crowded event market. Network and learn from event planners, fundraising experts, individual, and corporate philanthropists.
Austin’s own Grammy nominee and ACM award-winning country music artist, Jack Ingram will serve as the luncheon keynote speaker for this event. He serves as one-third of the Mack, Jack & McConaughey (MJ&M) superstar fundraising team which also includes Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey, and ESPN analyst and Texas coaching legend Mack Brown. Ingram’s October 23 keynote presentation at Art of the Gala will address the nuts and bolts of building and hosting a successful event, as well as building your personal brand through giving back.
Learn more about this event by watching this short, two-minute video with Monica Williams, one of the organizers of Art of the Gala (as well as the founder and editor of the wonderful online resource GivingCity Austin).
