Charter Arts: New facility hosts 'Gala of Dreams'

The 2015 Gala of Dreams to benefit the Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts (Charter Arts) in early June at the school's new facility located at the corner of Third & Polk Streets in south Bethlehem was an exciting milestone for the school as it prepares to move into the new facility in August.

Over 350 guests arrived to the full red carpet treatment, complete with paparazzi, interviews, and a fun cast of quirky characters who made up the Charter Arts Red Carpet Cast.

The under-construction building was completely transformed into an vibrant and elegant venue for the event. The Masters of Ceremonies for the evening were Charter Arts faculty member Paul Walsh and Charter Arts alumnus and ventriloquist Matthew Bailey.

Guests enjoyed a beautiful menu created by Karen Hunter Catering and an evening filled with extraordinary and moving performances from over 100 Charter Arts students and alumni.

The evening continued with a riveting live auction led by Lehigh Valley favorite, Senie Bloys, and then guests kicked up their heels on the dance floor to the sounds of the Charter Arts Advanced Jazz Ensemble.
