The OCSA Foundation is rewinding the clock and cranking up the color for its most spectacular night of the year – Gala 2026: Cosmic Variety Hour! Get ready to step straight into the dazzling, technicolor world of an early-1960s live-televised variety show. Think the electric energy of American Bandstand meets the bold, geometric aesthetic of esteemed artist Shag, all infused with a touch of space-age optimism.

Black Tie Attire Recommended

Take inspiration from the bold colors and styles of the early 1960s!
