The Art of Dessert Gala is LBC’s signature fundraising event of the year, raising more than $1 million annually to support the programs, performances, and community experiences that make LBC a home for the arts in Sonoma County and North Bay. Proceeds provide vital support for deeply impactful programs and services that enrich more than 500,000 lives across generations and life stages—from students and families to artists, educators, and audiences throughout our region.

This year’s Gala will be unlike anything LBC has ever presented. For one extraordinary evening, Art of Dessert moves from the lobby into the theater itself, where the entire space will be transformed into a breathtaking stage for dining, entertainment, and celebration. Guests will step into the heart of the theater for an immersive, one night-only experience surrounded by the scale, energy, and magic of LBC. The evening will feature luxurious family-style dining, exceptional Rodney Strong Wine Estates wines, engaging entertainment, silent and live auctions, and decadent desserts by the best bakers in the county. Sonoma County’s most anticipated fundraiser will be a night to remember—and your support will help ensure that LBC continues to bring transformative arts experiences to our community in the year ahead.

We hope you will mark your calendars for next year’s Art of Dessert on April 10, 2027. Until then, please enjoy photos from recent years!
