The Gallery will be filled with the abstract photos of artist, Sasha Vom Dorp.

In the auditorium there will be an auction of highly desirable experience packages including exclusive dinner parties, travel, year-long movie passes and private screenings. Patrons will also have the opportunity to raise the paddle for TCA initiatives such as our Inter-Arts Internship Program and New Mexico–centered theater, dance and film events.
