Join us for our most important fundraising event of the year.
The Seattle Amistad School Gala is our largest annual fundraiser and a powerful opportunity to come together as a community in support of bilingual education, cultural excellence, and equitable access for all students.
This year’s Gala is proudly hosted in partnership with ArtLove Salon, a nonprofit initiative of the Conru Art Foundation, whose shared commitment to art, humanity, and connection aligns deeply with Amistad’s mission and future vision.
Together, we are gathering to celebrate, inspire, and invest in what’s next for Amistad.
Every ticket purchased, every paddle raised, and every item bid on moves this collective vision forward—turning culture into opportunity and possibility into action.
Our Partners in Purpose
ArtLove Salon is more than a gallery—it is a space designed to spark connection through art. With a focus on contemporary realism and the human experience, ArtLove Salon celebrates storytelling, emotion, and shared humanity.
As a nonprofit initiative of the Conru Art Foundation, ArtLove Salon operates with a bold philanthropic principle: zero commission on art sales, ensuring artists are fully supported while cultivating a vibrant cultural ecosystem.
The Conru Art Foundation believes that art is essential infrastructure for human flourishing.
Founded in 2022, the Foundation was built on the idea that beauty, truth, and love are not abstract ideals—but practical tools for healing, connection, and community building. Through physical spaces, artist support, and sustainable cultural models, Conru invests in experiences that bring people together in meaningful ways.
