Joy Takes the Stage – Venture Together’s Fall Celebration

Join Venture Together on Thursday, November 12, 2026, for Joy Takes the Stage—an evening of music, delicious food, community, and celebration.

At Venture Together, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to create, connect, and pursue an extraordinary life. This evening will bring that belief to life — with live music, art works, exceptional food and cocktails, and some of the extraordinary people who make our mission possible.

So, what can you expect at Joy Takes the Stage?

• Cocktails + bites
  Kick off the evening with a cocktail reception and passed hors d’oeuvres as you mingle, explore Otto’s and settle in for the night.
• An elegant and delicious dinner from Otto’s
  Settle in for a seasonal, locally sourced dinner from Otto’s kitchen, bringing great food and conversation to the heart of the evening.
• A gallery created by Venture Together artists
  Wander through a gallery of original artwork created by Venture Together individuals, and get to know some of the artists and stories behind the work.
• Live music and Venture voices take the stage
  And, of course, there will be music. Enjoy live performances by Venture Together individuals, alongside special guest and acclaimed pianist Jeremy Wall.

Joy Takes the Stage celebrates what’s possible when people with intellectual and developmental disabilities have opportunities to create, connect and fully participate in their communities. 

Your ticket helps support the programs that make those opportunities possible.
