It’s an evening of beauty, drama, and inspiration: a chance to enjoy the splendor of Grace Cathedral’s towering columns and soaring arches as you’ve never seen them before. Begin the party at 6:30 p.m. with cocktails and live music. Enjoy dinner at 7:30 p.m., with an appearance by our Artist in Residence, playwright, author, and actor Anna Deavere Smith. Support Grace Cathedral’s mission by bidding on one of our premium auction items.
