Unison's 50th Anniversary Gala — Unison Arts

Half a century of creativity, and the dream continues!
Unison’s 50th Anniversary Gala invites you into a midsummer evening where art and atmosphere meet. Held at Liberty View Farm, this year’s celebration draws inspiration from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, embracing the magic of the Hudson Valley landscape at dusk—open skies, warm air, and a sense of wonder that emerges as day fades into night.
For five decades, Unison has cultivated a space where artists and communities come together to create, reflect, and imagine new possibilities. This milestone event honors that history while looking ahead to the future we continue to build—one rooted in creativity, inclusion, and the belief that art can help shape a more just and connected world.
Guests will experience an immersive evening of art, performance, and connection in a setting that encourages discovery and delight. The evening will also feature a special tribute honoring Sheriff Juan Figueroa for his leadership in creating meaningful pathways for second chances through the IGNITE initiative. Over the past three years, Unison has partnered with the Ulster County Sheriff’s Office to bring its Arts Spark: Visual Storytelling program to incarcerated women—an ongoing collaboration that demonstrates the transformative power of art to foster healing, restore dignity, and support reintegration and community connection.
Whether you are a longtime supporter or joining us for the first time, this celebration offers a chance to be part of Unison’s ongoing story and the future still becoming.
