About: Fifteen years of art, music, and community is worth celebrating!

This September, we’re bringing together friends, supporters, and members of the Barns community for a special anniversary gala celebrating the people and experiences that have shaped the Barns these past 15 years. We’re delighted to welcome Lucy Dorick and her husband, Steve, as Honorary Chairs. A former Board member and longtime champion of the Barns, Lucy has played a key role in our development and fundraising efforts, including helping us reach the finish line of our recently completed ten-year Eugene B. Casey Foundation endowment challenge campaign.

There’s no theme this year, just plenty to celebrate: 15 years of live music, art, community, and the people who have made the Barns what it is today.

Guests will enjoy elegant hors d’oeuvres from Bonnie Blue Southern Market & Bakery, bid on a selection of live and silent auction items, and enjoy music from Furnace Mountain Duo, featuring Dave Van Deventer and Morgan Morrison. Morgan served as the Barns’ Program Director for a decade, making this a particularly fitting musical homecoming as we celebrate the people and memories that have brought us here.

Join us for an evening of great music, good company, and a little philanthropy—all in celebration of 15 years at the Barns.

There is no formal dress code; suggested attire is comfort cocktail.

Date & Time: Saturday, September 19, 2026. Doors open at 5:30 PM. Festivities kick off at 6:00 PM.
