Annual Gala

We look forward to our upcoming Annual Gala. Tickets and sponsorships are on sale until February 17th

AIS 12th Annual Art Gala

Each year, our Gala is Austin International School’s biggest fundraising event of the year 
and is not to be missed!

Our community comes together to celebrate the unique international environment and support the advancement efforts of the school. The event will include a silent and live auction full of wonderful packages and experiences. Fundraising from the Gala supports teacher tuition discounts, expands educational programming, and allows for school improvements and enhancements.
