The must-attend finale to our annual gala will include an electrifying performance by Annie and the Caldwells, DJ sets by Chances with Wolves and Fauzia, immersive activations and installations, multiple open bars, and delicious late-night bites. And, of course, a few surprises await.

We rely on the generosity of our community to continue our work. All ticket proceeds from this annual fundraising event help sustain our free, community-driven programs and support underrepresented creators.

About the Artists

Annie and The Caldwells

ANNIE & THE CALDWELLS are a family from Mississippi led by mother Ms. Annie Caldwell. Ms. Annie is backed by daughters Deborah and Anjessica, and goddaughter Toni Rivers; their eldest son Willie Jr. is on the bass and youngest son Abel Aquirius is on the drums. Their father and Annie’s husband of the last fifty years, Willie Joe Caldwell, Sr, is on guitar.

[Luaka Bop, 2025], their incredible new album 40 years in the making, has already gotten rave reviews in The Guardian and MOJO… before it’s even been announced!

Their music won’t only move you spiritually but emotionally as well—with songs that are as much at home in a church of God as in the church of the dance floor.

Chances with Wolves

Chances with Wolves began as a radio show on East Village Radio in NYC in 2008. Operated by two Brooklyn-raised DJs, Kenan and Kray—whose love of music has bonded them since they were kids—Chances with Wolves has freed itself of the constraints of modern-day radio programming by ignoring genre limitations in favor of mood and feeling. Over the past 15 years they have created over 500 episodes without repeating a song, earning the show an international cult following.

Fauzia

FAUZIA is a multidisciplinary artist working in live, recorded music and audio-visual installations. Her work challenges the arbitrary division of genre through an extensive range of musical expression. A composer, DJ, producer & vocalist, she is a singular figure in contemporary electronic music.
