Night of Hope Gala

About this event

“I feel like I belong at The Hope Gallery. People don’t see my disability and the things I can’t do. Instead, it’s a place for me to show all the things I can do.” - Paige, Team Member

Join The Hope Gallery in celebrating our FIFTH ANNUAL Night of Hope Gala! The Hope Gallery Tri-State is a transformative nonprofit boutique run by and for adults with developmental disabilities. Our mission is to empower neurodivergent individuals, whom we affectionately call Team Members, by providing them with vocational training, valuable skills to thrive in the workforce, and meaningful community involvement opportunities.

At The Hope Gallery, we go beyond traditional vocational training. Our dedicated volunteers teach Team Members essential customer interaction, cash register operation, and the ins and outs of running a storefront. Additionally, we nurture their artistic abilities, encouraging them to create stunning jewelry, rugs, and most notably, signature mosaics. Each mosaic is a true masterpiece and fits with our tagline “wonderfully made, perfectly unique.”

The story of The Hope Gallery Tri-State began in the fall of 2021, humbly starting around a dining room table. Velvet chairs became the starting point where adults with disabilities seeking purpose gathered to learn new skills, including grouting and gluing mosaics. From those small beginnings, we have continued to grow beyond what we ever imagined. In the summer of 2022, we proudly opened our original storefront in downtown Newburgh in a 750 square foot space. Then, in the fall of 2025, we expanded to the east side of Evansville to a 5,400 square foot space. Today, we are thrilled to have served over 200 amazing individuals.

We are so grateful for all the lives we impact daily. However, we cannot do this alone . We rely on the support of compassionate individuals like you to continue providing meaningful vocational opportunities to adults with disabilities in our community. Your contribution to our cause will make a tangible difference in the lives of those who deserve a chance to shine. Join us in fostering hope, creativity, and purpose. Together, we can continue creating a brighter future for all.
