About the event
AWS’s Spring Bloom Gala is a chance for our community to come together, enjoy a great evening, and support the future of our school.
This event begins at 4:00pm, with contra dancing at 5:00pm—open to everyone, no experience needed. Dinner will be served at 6:00pm, catered by Treska’s, with a fully gluten-free menu and vegan and vegetarian options available. After dinner, we’ll enjoy live music by Old Sap, dessert, and time to connect. A cash bar will be available throughout the evening.
The silent auction is a key part of the night, featuring a thoughtfully curated mix of items from local artists and businesses, including artwork, experiences, and gift offerings from places like Asheville Raven and Crone, Dripolator, Louise’s Kitchen, and many more.
As our largest fundraiser of the year, Spring Bloom helps support many aspects of the school, including financial aid, faculty, and core programs.
We hope you’ll join us for a relaxed, fun, and meaningful evening together.
