The Quincy Art Center is thrilled to invite you to the inaugural Holiday Art Gala: A Traditional Quincy Christmas, on Saturday, December 20, 2025. This beautiful event will celebrate the visual arts and the holiday traditions of the community as a nod to the Adams County Bicentennial.

Doors open at 6:30 pm, and the fun gets underway at 7:00 with our esteemed emcee, WGEM’s Chad Douglas. Throughout the evening you can enjoy live music, dancing, living paintings, holiday cheer, an art auction, and tasty small plates provided by local favorite restaurant 8te Open. The Holiday Art Gala is a fundraiser for The Art Center and makes it possible for us to continue in our mission to connect people to the power of art. Tickets are $100 per person and $720 for a table of 8. Tickets are on sale now in-person at Quincy Art Center, 1515 Jersey St, Quincy, IL.
