Be a part of a story that celebrates art and education,

Beyond the Frame.

On February 20, 2026, we invite you to step Beyond the Frame—into a vibrant evening where the spotlight shines on the remarkable talents of our students. Join us at MATCH for a benefit that honors not just the arts, but the transformative power of community and imagination.

We are moving beyond the traditional sit-down gala to bring you a refreshing evening featuring gourmet appetizers, visual arts and performing arts showcases, and an encore of decadent desserts. Support the Briarwood and Tuttle Schools by participating in the Silent Auction, the Live Auction, and Paddles Up. Paddles Up will directly benefit the arts and humanities programs at The Briarwood and Tuttle Schools. 

Tickets are on sale now for $125 per ticket! With the exception of seating for sponsors and underwriters, all seating is general admission. Please indicate any seating needs when purchasing your tickets. The recommended dress is smart casual, with a splash of color.
