Gala of the Arts

UIMA Annual Fundraiser
Saturday, October 6, 2018 at 6pm

Gala of the Arts, UIMA’s 2018 fundraising event celebrating creativity and achievement, includes cocktails and hors d’oeuvres followed by a seated dinner, remarks by special guests, a raffle, and a music performance by a renown Chicago jazz singer Lynne Jordan and her band. Gala funds support UIMA’s expansion project to include space for a Children’s Art Center.

This year we will be honoring two exceptional individuals for their service and contribution to the Ukrainian and Ukrainian-American arts and culture:
