Call for Student and Alumni Artists

On October 17, 2026, Anova is hosting our ACE of Diamonds Gala—the first gala event in nearly a decade. We are inviting our talented students and alumni to be part of this unforgettable evening by sharing their creativity and donating artwork in the medium of their choice.

ACE of Diamonds: An Evening to Sparkle, Celebrate, and Shine

Please submit your interest in providing artwork for this event by clicking the link above. All artwork submissions will be considered for the ACE of Diamonds Gala auction—an opportunity for students and alumni to showcase their creativity while helping make a meaningful impact on the Anova community. All forms of artistic expression are welcome, including painting, drawing, mixed media, sculpture, and more.

The selected artwork will be displayed and sold to event guests during the ACE of Diamonds Gala, with all proceeds directly supporting Anova and the vital programs that help students thrive. Funds raised will benefit essential educational and therapeutic services, including mental health support, social communication development, occupational therapy, sensory integration, and other life-changing programs for our students.

Please note that any artwork selected for the auction will be considered a donated item. By submitting artwork for consideration, artists acknowledge that selected pieces will be auctioned at the event and will not be returned afterward.

This year’s celebration honors resilience, growth, and the brilliance that shines throughout our community. Your artwork will not only be displayed and celebrated—it will help tell the story of Anova and inspire others to invest in the future of our students.

Submission deadline: Friday, September 18

Whether you’re a current student or a proud alum, we encourage you to share your creativity and be part of this meaningful celebration.

Let your creativity shine—and help Anova sparkle even brighter.
