CFA Gala Night Out

CFA Night Out marks a new chapter for the Canady Foundation for the Arts—our first-ever cocktail gala and a night dedicated to celebrating the artists, educators, and changemakers who bring the performing arts to life in our community.

This inaugural event will honor legendary Artistic Director Hana Sharif, whose decades of work have shaped American theater and opened doors for the next generation of storytellers. Guests will enjoy an elegant cocktail reception in one of DC’s most storied historic venues, featuring a tribute to Hana Sharif’s legacy, remarks from CFA leadership, and opportunities to connect with fellow champions of the arts.
