Please join us on Tuesday, October 1 for the 2024 Designing Futures Gala at the beautifully restored Ramova Theatre in Bridgeport.
In an effort to be more inclusive and acknowledge our docents and volunteers at the CAC, we are excited to offer reduced rate of $250 a ticket (regular price is $500) for you. We will have a special seating area for docents to gather, should they wish, but we hope you will also mix and mingle amongst our greater CAC community. Also new this year, we are providing ribbons to help identify our guests, including docent and volunteers, trustees, sponsors, and staff.
Proceeds from the event will benefit CAC’s learning and community engagement programs. CAC offers free or affordable STEM education programs, inspiring over 3,000 youths yearly in architecture, construction, engineering, and design. Open House Chicago, our flagship event, attracts 25,000+ visitors to explore 170+ unique city spaces.
The evening will feature:
Presentation of the Lynn J. Osmond Legacy Award to James D. Parsons, long-time CAC Trustee, youth advocate, and philanthropic leader
Live music and dancing
Food by Ramova Grill, associated with The Duck Inn, a Michelin Bib Gourmand and James Beard award nominee
An exclusive VIP reception in the Ramova Loft featuring a private conversation with Ramova Theatre Founders Tyler and Emily Nevius and Architect Dan O’Riley AIA, of O’Riley Office
