Festival of the Arts: Northern Lights — An Artful Evening
Join the Bismarck Art & Galleries Association for an unforgettable evening celebrating art, community, and creativity at the Festival of the Arts on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at the beautiful Northern Lights Atrium of the North Dakota Heritage Center.
Inspired by our setting beneath the Northern Lights, this year’s Festival will bring a little extra color and sparkle to one of BAGA’s signature fundraising events.
The evening begins with a Social Hour from 5:30–6:30 p.m., giving guests time to mingle, enjoy refreshments, and browse an exciting selection of silent and live auction items. At 6:30 p.m., guests will gather for dinner and the live auction.
Throughout the evening, guests will have the opportunity to bid on unique artwork, experiences, and other special items while supporting BAGA and its mission to support, elevate, and advance the visual arts.
Tickets
Tickets are $75 per person, or gather your friends, colleagues, or fellow art lovers and reserve a table for $600.
An Evening That Supports the Arts
Festival of the Arts is more than a night out—it is an important fundraiser for BAGA. Proceeds help make possible the exhibitions, classes, community programs, artist opportunities, and special events BAGA provides throughout the year. Every ticket purchased and every auction bid helps us continue creating opportunities for artists and making the visual arts accessible to our community.
