Headwaters Music and Arts Gala

An enchanting evening of music and art to benefit the Headwaters Music & Art scholarship fund

The Headwaters Music & Art gala, featuring an incredible mix of rock, blues, jazz, and classic tunes, alongside stunning artwork from our teaching artists. All in the name of raising money for Headwaters’ scholarships helping to ensure all aspiring musicians and artists have the funding they need to thrive.

The 2026 Headwaters Music and Arts Gala: Play it Forward was more than just a sold out night; it was a powerful testament to the generosity of our community.

We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to your incredible support, we surpassed our funding goals by raising over $23,000 for our scholarship program. Whether you bid on a silent auction item, purchased a ticket, or cheered us on from afar, you have directly helped ensure that music and arts education remains accessible to all.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us play it forward.

Thank you to all of our amazing supporters!
