2025 Blanton Gala
The 2025 Blanton gala was a Texas-sized success! We raised nearly $1.2 million from the event — and there’s still time to help us reach our gala goal. These funds enable the museum to continue fulfilling its mission as the major collecting art museum of Central Texas. One of the best ways to support this is by making an unrestricted gift in any amount.
