Celebrating Kala’s 50th year, KALA 50 brings together Kala’s creative community and features the inventive and meaningful art being made right here in the Bay Area. We are thrilled this year to celebrate David Huffman, Emily Payne, and Rupy C. Tut as the 2024 honored artists.
Kala’s 50th anniversary is a very special milestone, the auction is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and the auction directly supports Kala’s arts education, artist residencies, and exhibition programs.

We are creating a non-linear memorial timeline to commemorate Kala’s very exciting milestone anniversary. We’d love for you to share a short message about your experience.
These messages will be displayed at the upcoming KALA Auction in March and April, and throughout the year of 2024. Your testimonial may also appear on Kala’s website, social media and other public materials. Kindly please submit your testimonial by Friday, March 15, 2024.
