More Than A Sneaker Ball!

We’re celebrating 20 years of
No Limits Arts Theatre,
and a regular anniversary party
simply wouldn’t do.

Join us for The Art of Being Seen, our First Annual Sneaker Ball an intimate evening where art, fashion, creativity, and purpose share the spotlight.

We’ll begin the evening celebrating the talented youth artists of our SEAT'd: The Art of Being Seen Youth Residency and the incredible one-of-a-kind chairs they created before those works find new homes through our live auction.

Then it’s time to celebrate. Expect music, hors d'oeuvres, drinks, raffles, bold fashion, statement sneakers, and a room full of people who understood the assignment.

Only 120 guests.

Creative Formal. Sneakers

SEAT'D - MEET THE YOUTH ARTISTS BEHIND THE CHAIRS

This summer, young artists spent six weeks creating alongside professional artist mentors through our SEAT'd: The Art of Being Seen Youth Residency.

Using the chair as their canvas, each young artist created a one-of-a-kind work exploring identity, voice, belonging, and what it means to truly be seen.

Their work will be exhibited at Gallery Defi ,August 13 -September 15, 2026, before taking center stage at The Art of Being Seen Sneaker Ball on September 24.

Come meet the artists. Hear their stories. See what happens when young people are given the space to create boldly.
