Cirque Du The Arts Gala at Harold Newman Arena March 6

Harold Newman Arena on the University of Jamestown campus will be transformed into a cirque-style spectacle when The Arts Center (Jamestown Fine Arts Association) stages its Cirque Du The Arts Gala, starting at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, March 6. The venue is listed at 1004 7th St NE in Jamestown, and the event is billed as the Arts Center’s signature fundraising gala for the region.

Event promotional copy promises a lineup of theatrical performances and immersive visual elements, saying, "Inspired by the magic and excitement of cirque-style entertainment, the gala will feature dazzling performances and immersive artistic experiences designed to captivate audiences of all ages." Organizers and promotional listings describe live circus performers alongside installations meant to evoke a vibrant, circus-inspired atmosphere.

The evening will include both silent and live auctions framed as key fundraising moments. Promotional materials state, "Guests will be transported into a vibrant, circus-inspired atmosphere featuring live circus performers, silent and live auction items, and an evening filled with fun and flair." After the formal program and auctions, attendees will hear live music from local favorite Drift North, with organizers noting that the band will keep "the celebration going into the night."

Published listings differ on when the night ends. The Arts Center's Instagram post lists the gala from 5:30–11:00 p.m., while an event listing shows a 4.5-hour duration that implies a 10:00 p.m. end. A community announcement also states, "The event will run from 5:30 pm to 10 pm, promising guests a memorable night where artistry and performance take center stage." Prospective attendees should check final timing when purchasing tickets.

Ticketing information on event pages shows general admission starting at USD 120, and promotional copy urges supporters to act early with the line "Get your tickets now!" Community members can sponsor a table or purchase individual tickets by visiting jamestownarts.com or by calling The Arts Center for more information. Organizers list sponsorship and table opportunities as part of fundraising outreach; exact tiers and benefits have been advertised as available through the Arts Center’s ticketing channels.

The Arts Center frames the gala as a core source of support for its operations, saying, "'Cirque du The Arts' serves as The Arts Center's signature fundraising event, supporting year-round programming, exhibitions, arts education initiatives, and community outreach efforts that enrich the Jamestown region." The gala’s mix of performances, auctions, and live music aims to raise funds that sustain those programs while offering a high-profile cultural night at Harold Newman Arena.
