the Gala: POP

A Night of Art, Fashion, and Celebration in Hot Springs

Saturday, November 7, 2026
The Crystal Ballroom at The Arlington Resort Hotel & Spa

The theme is POP—a feeling that arrives as an unexpected, larger-than-life presence wrapped in a glamorous package. Bold scale. Vivid color. Unforgettable experiences.

Hot Springs has always had an eye for the extraordinary, and on November 7, that tradition takes the stage for its third act.

The Gala is the Hot Springs Area Cultural Alliance’s exclusive annual celebration of creativity and culture. This black-tie, fashion-forward event promises a luxurious evening filled with interactive installations and captivating experiences that push the boundaries of artistic expression.

Guests will enjoy an elevated showcase of musicians, visual artists and performers taking the runway, along with the opportunity to bid on one-of-a-kind works of art. Decadent hors d’oeuvres and premium bar service will enhance the evening, while professional photography captures the unforgettable experience.

More than an extraordinary evening, The Gala is the catalyst for a full year of arts programming, artist support and professional development opportunities. Sponsorship aligns your name with the cultural identity of Hot Springs while making a direct investment in the artists, organizations and creative community that make our city worth visiting—and a reason to stay.

The arts are fundamental to the culture and economy of Hot Springs. They are worth celebrating, investing in and supporting.
