[A Message from Catamount Arts]

Celebrate 50 years with us!

Our Auction Gala is now An Evening for the Arts fundraising event! This reimagined event will be focused on food, drinks, dancing, and celebrating 50 years of Catamount Arts programming in Vermont’s NEK and Northern NH. While we’ll still have an online auction, the in-person event is all about connection, fun, and fundraising to help us hit our $50,000 goal in honor of our 50th year!

Make it a night out for your whole crew, fam, and friend group, and book a room or two! The benefit of having this event at the Burke Mountain Hotel this year is that you can stay overnight, mere steps away from the party! And we’re excited to announce that we’ve worked with Burke Mountain to offer discounted rooms. Got kids? BONUS ANNOUNCEMENT! We’re offering childcare for just $10 per child (12 and under). Childcare will include food, an arcade pass, crafts, and more! Interested? Spots must be booked in advance.

Here are the details:

• When: 11/15/25
• Where: For the first time, we’ll be hosting our fundraising event at the Burke Mountain Hotel! Make a night of it and book a room – who doesn’t love a good staycation?
• Schedule: Check in will be at 5 pm with drinks, delicious food stations, and chatting about the arts! Next up, be ready to raise your paddle to help us raise funds to keep the arts hip hoppin’ in our region. Then at 8 pm, we’ll meet in the lodge and we’ll dance the night away with the Wicked Smart Horn Band!
• Cost: $99 early bird special, October 1 – October 25. Regular priced ticket $150 until November 5.

Food, drinks, music, dancing, fundraising and the arts…what could be better?
