CALL FOR ARTISTS: Interactive/Ambient Performances & Immersive Installations


 

What is Chashama Gala?

Our Gala is no rubber-chicken dinner – it is a free-flowing, fantastical art experience on June 26th, featuring 300 performers and a labyrinth of interactive installations. This year’s event will leave you dazzled and inspired, as we celebrate the artists and creatives who make our city go ‘round.
