The Sapphire Gayla

Gerber/Hart Library and Archives turns 45, and this gala is the celebration it deserves. An evening of dinner, drinks, and entertainment at Rockwell on the River that directly funds one of Chicago's most vital cultural institutions—a place that's been preserving LGBTQ+ history and keeping its archives free to the public for nearly half a century. VIP tickets include early access and a whiskey tasting; host a table or grab a single seat. This is the kind of night where showing up matters.
