The Making of 国产AV鈥檚 Performing and Visual Arts Gala
It takes a village鈥嗏�斺�唎f artists, performers and behind-the-scenes staff鈥嗏�斺�唗o pull off an event as big as 国产AV鈥檚 34th Annual Gala. This year鈥檚 showcase of Performing and Visual Arts students brought together more than 400 student artists, 25 technical staff members, 24 faculty directors and mentors, and 900 audience members. The Gala, which takes place every February at the Union Colony Civic Center in Greeley, raises scholarship funds for 国产AV鈥檚 arts students. 国产AV photographers Woody Myers and Barry LaPoint went behind the scenes to capture the energy, creativity and intensity that takes place off- and on-stage when 400 artists step into the light.
