Great Neck Arts Center Annual GALA

Each year since 1995, the Great Neck Arts Center has hosted a gala performance benefit event. Individuals from the world of the visual and performing arts are joined by others from the worlds of business, public service, journalism, finance, architecture, philanthropy, and education to receive awards for their demonstrated excellence and commitment to the Arts. Among the artists who have been singled out for these awards are: Pulitzer Prize and Kennedy Center Award winning composer/conductor Morton Gould; actress Shirley Romaine; filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola; artists Larry Rivers, James Rosenquist, Lou Dorfsman; internationally renowned sculptor Edwina Sandys; Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame photographer Bob Gruen; Rock 'N Roll Lovin' Spoonful musician, Joe Butler; jazz great trombonist Al Grey, jazz singer Yvette Glover; dancer Savion Glover; legendary fashion designer Oleg Cassini; and Broadway leading lady and Tony Award winner Kelli O'Hara. All funds raised at the annual gala support the School for the Arts, Scholarship Program, and Outreach Program, which currently serves thousands of students in the region.
