Arts for All gala featuring seal at HALL Napa Valley

How can we make the arts accessible to everyone? This is one of Festival Napa Valley’s primary missions and the purpose of tonight’s Arts for All Gala. Wine Country’s premier arts charity event, the Gala is one of the most meaningful nights of the Festival, and, with more than $10 million raised to date, possibly the biggest fundraiser for arts education in the West.

Helping the Festival realize this mission is four-time Grammy Award-winner Seal. The multi-platinum singer-songwriter rocketed to worldwide stardom with his hit singles ‘Kiss from a Rose’ and ‘Crazy.’Tonight he reignites some of the most iconic jazz and swing classics ever written, performing songs from his Grammy Award-nominated album, Standards, which pays tribute to legendary artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole, accompanied by the Festival’s Blackburn Music Academy Orchestra.

This year’s celebration takes place at the magnificent HALL Winery in St. Helena, an art-filled estate that combines the best of the past and the future. With the majestic Mayacamas Mountains as a backdrop, guests will be treated to an elegant dinner paired with extraordinary wines from HALL, WALT, and Domaine Carneros. The festivities cap off with a high-energy live auction featuring once-in-a-lifetime luxury lots.

Proceeds from the evening provide free and affordable access to world-class performances, support public school arts education programs in Napa County, and fund scholarships for emerging musicians.

Ticket price Includes $800 tax deductible donation.
