Set on our breathtaking campus, this exclusive event is your chance to soak in the lively atmosphere, connect with the arts community, and celebrate creativity in every corner.
Enjoy live music, exciting activations across the Ranch, and get first access to over 130 incredible pieces in our silent auction before the Gala begins.

*Please note, this is a separate ticketed event from the Ranch Gala, which follows later in the evening. A ticket to the Cocktail Party grants access to this pre-Gala celebration, while a Gala ticket includes both the Gala and the Cocktail Party.
These events are made possible by the generous support of our Ranch Week Co-Chairs, Sherry and Joe Felson, Martha and Richard Finger, Carolyn and Alex Hurst, as well as our Ranch Gala Honorary Host Committee.
