Alamo City Arts would like to invite YOU to come to our party, The Gilded Gala at the Scottish Rite Theatre.
We are excited to celebrate our 30th year and announce Alamo City Arts' collaboration in renovating and updating the beautiful and historic Scottish Rite Theatre, to bring a new performance arts space to downtown San Antonio! This black-tie (or best gilded attire), celebratory evening will be filled with entertainment, auctions, casinos, and so much more. Featuring performances from all of our branches— Alamo City Dance Company, Symphony Viva, Heart of Texas Concert Band, Memory Lane Dance Band— and guest performances from The Harlequin Theatre and Dance Life Studio, this is an evening you don't want to miss!

A Letter from our CEO, Cory McRae
Dear Alamo City Arts Members and Friends,
You are cordially invited to the first annual Alamo City Arts Gala, The Gilded Gala, on Saturday, September 24th at 7 PM at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. As the kick-off event of our Pearl Anniversary, The Gilded Gala will further Alamo City Arts' mission to fill the greater San Antonio community with access to the performing arts through educational initiatives, presentation of works, and inclusive artistic practices.
As a debut to our new phase of service to San Antonio, The Gilded Gala celebrates a number of significant changes for our organization. First and foremost, our name has changed! Formerly known as Alamo City Performing Arts Association (ACPAA), we are moving forward as Alamo City Arts, with optimistic hope that this new identity will provide a refreshed image to our community as we aim to serve not only our devoted dance patrons, but those of all arts group. Secondly, under the direction of the new Artistic Director for the Alamo City Dance Company, Katie Rodriguez Hall, we have formed the Alamo City Arts Academy. Third, Symphony Viva has since taken on the pride of the Alamo City brand, and is moving forward as the Alamo City Symphony Viva under the direction of Dr. Joseph Kneer. Fourth, we will now be the proud presenters of the Heart of Texas Concert Band under the direction of Dr. Mark Rogers.
Finally, The Gilded Gala will take place at the Scottish Rite Cathedral under the new operational management of Alamo City Arts. Erected in 1924 as a principal meeting site for the Scottish Rite Freemasonry, the Scottish Rite Cathedral will begin the process of revitalization by Alamo City Arts as a premier performing arts center, providing innumerable opportunities for performing arts groups to enrich San Antonio’s heritage and legacy of fine arts and culture.
The Gilded Gala will be a monumental evening that celebrates the union of all our new achievements and expanded community, featuring performances by Alamo City Symphony Viva, Alamo City Dance Company, and the Heart of Texas Concert Band. The funds raised by the event will aid in the presentation of our audacious 2022/23 performance season, as well as the renovation efforts in the preservation and restoration of the Scottish Rite Cathedral. We hope that you will be able to support The Gilded Gala by sponsoring a table or making a donation. Please review the included sponsorship form that details the various levels of support and indicate your preferred type of sponsorship. Please inform us of your affirmative participation in the event by Friday, August 26th, to ensure that your generosity is included in all our promotional materials. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected].
We sincerely hope that you will join us as we spread our freshly opened wings in a new era for Alamo City Arts. We are so grateful for all your generous support.
Sincerely,
Cory McRae
