BICA Gala 2025: I WANT TO BELIEVE

  • The Buffalo Institute for Contemporary Art 30d Essex Street Buffalo, NY, 14222 United States (map)
Flying UFO

What do you want to believe in?

An apple a day. The power of art. The Bills. Climate change. Socialism. Capitalism. God. The moon landing. Bigfoot. Elvis is alive. Aliens are real. Acupuncture.

BICA’s annual gala is a celebration of belief — in art, in transformation, in the wild idea that gathering together can still mean something. On October 25, step into our transformed campus for a night of light, sound, food, drink, and the unexpected.

We’ve teamed up with GroupWork, Buffalo’s premiere party alchemists, to conjure music, movement, and atmosphere all night long. 

Dress code: Costume or cocktail 

Tickets start at $25

VIPs ($100) get in early (7–8 PM) for an open bar and first access to art, experiences, and a little magic

$$ BICA Bucks will be your currency for drinks, food, and anything weird you find along the way

Show us you want to believe.
