 GALA Newsletter
GALA was organized to promote the arts as an essential component
of a healthy community. We believe that artistic expression is a
community's greatest legacy for future generations. GALA will increase
awareness and appreciation of the arts by way of exhibits,
instruction, theater productions, musical programs and provision of
scholarships to students in local schools.
