As North Texas arts are emerging from all types of pandemic challenges, the AT&T Performing Arts Center is moving ahead with gusto for its 2023 Bravo! Gala.

Slated for Saturday, November 18, at the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House, the event will be co-chaired by those arts-loving gals, Diane Brierley and Ellen Winspear.

The seated dinner on the Shannon and Ted Skokos Stage will honor the Moody Foundation that has provided support for the following initiatives for the Center:

  • It was a founding member in the Center’s original capital campaign.
  • It has been a long-time funder of the Center’s arts education programs, most recently Disney Musicals in Schools which builds musical theater programs in Title I elementary schools.
  • In recognition of a $5 million gift in 2013, the iconic chandelier in the Margaret McDermott Performance Hall in the Winspear Opera House was named The Moody Foundation Chandelier.
  • In 2017, the foundation provided a $12 million gift to the Center and another $10 million gift to establish and endow the Moody Fund for the Arts to provide, in perpetuity, grants to small Dallas arts organizations.
    • Since its first grants in 2018, the Moody Fund for the Arts has distributed 303 unique grants totaling $1.93 million in total funds to 92 Dallas arts organizations.
    • The Center administers this fund and its endowment.
    • In recognition of the Moody Foundation’s gift to establish the Moody Fund for the Arts and its generosity to the arts, the Dallas City Council renamed Dallas City Performance Hall as Moody Performance Hall.
  • The Moody Foundation Chairman and Executive Director Francie Moody-Dahlberg is a longtime member of the Center’s Board of Directors.

As for the evening’s entertainment, it will be “indie/alternative band Lake Street Dive with the Moody Foundation Chandelier serving as the backdrop.”

While tickets are going for $1,200 each, underwriting opportunities start at $5,000.
