The cards were in our favor! 🖤🃏

Thanks to all of you, Raven’s Ball 2026 raised $35,000 for Riverside Arts Center + Freeark Gallery, hitting our goal! Between the live art, tarot readings and a little magic, the room was full of creativity from start to finish.

To our sponsors, artists, volunteers, food and drink partners, and every guest: thank you for going all in for contemporary art in our community. 🎭✨

Every dollar raised helps bring exhibitions, education and public programs to Chicago’s near west suburbs. We couldn't do it without you!
