We're gathering to honor a year of extraordinary accomplishments and the bright, creative future we're building together for the Capital Region.

Join us on Wednesday June 17th from 6-9pm for food, live performances and dancing!

Our 2026 Gala honors Mike Keegan. Mike is a retired Executive Vice President of M&T Bank who spent 31 years building the bank's presence in the Capital Region based on his research into community banking. Throughout his career and into retirement, he has remained a dedicated advocate for regional growth and the arts. He and his wife founded In Medio Advisors, an advisory firm guided by his father's philosophy of finding integrity and balance in the community.

Help support the arts in our region, and bring home an excellent experience, basket, or piece of art from the 2026 Arts Center Gala!
