Thank You for Making History With Us

We did something powerful. The Harlem Renaissance Gala wasn’t just an event. It was a moment. A night filled with joy, purpose, creativity, and collective energy that reminded us what’s possible when community shows up. To every artist, sponsor, guest, and supporter…we thank you. You helped turn vision into impact, and we’re still feeling the magic. This is just the beginning. We’re building something real, and we’re so glad you’re part of it.

Want to relive it all? The gallery is now open. As we continue to add photos in the coming weeks, sign up below to get access to the full collection of photos and stay connected with what’s next.
