The timeless charm of Paris meets the vibrant spirit of Mexico
Tabriz Gala returns to the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts on Saturday, April 5, 2025 with a theme inspired by AMFA’s blockbuster exhibition Rivera’s Paris, the first and most comprehensive look at Diego Rivera's years spent living in Paris. The evening will transport guests through the places that inspired Rivera’s most influential years.
Delight in a fusion of exquisite cuisine, award-winning music, cocktails, and enchanting ambiance as we blend Parisian joie de vivre with the vibrant spirit of Mexican culture.
Tabriz is a Little Rock tradition with a rich history dating back over fifty years. This fundraising event benefits the Museum, allowing generations of families and friends to enjoy the best performing and visual arts programs in the state. Do not miss Tabriz as we toast to this legacy and look ahead to a bright and art-filled future.

An Artful Impact

As one of the most distinctive art museums in the country, AMFA boasts a world-class art collection, entertains audiences with our professional children’s theatre, and inspires creative minds in the state-of-the-art studios at the Windgate Art School.
Since the Museum’s grand opening in April 2023, AMFA has demonstrated its deep commitment to the community by offering free admission to every guest, every day. And with a robust statewide outreach program, AMFA has welcomed guests from every corner of Arkansas and every state in the U.S.
As AMFA continues to advance this commitment, we recognize how vital the arts are to the fabric of a successful community, from improving the quality of life for Arkansans to serving as a tourism destination and economic engine for Central Arkansas.
With your generosity, the proceeds from Tabriz will support AMFA’s exhibitions and statewide educational outreach programming for generations to come.
A robust and exciting exhibition schedule is one of the catalysts that ensures guests will repeatedly return and strategically positions AMFA as a true arts destination. Through educational programming, thousands of students are visiting the Museum each year, and many youths and families are thoughtfully engaging with art for the first time. The community is also able to enjoy unique opportunities to experience artist talks, films, performances, concerts, and more. Through outreach programming, AMFA can serve the state’s most vulnerable populations with programs designed to specifically suit their needs.
Through your support, AMFA will continue its mission of creating an inclusive cultural space that inspires and builds community through the visual and
performing arts.
