invite you to join them at the Spotlight Ball

Proceeds will directly support Hubbard Street’s educational and community outreach, as well as its artistic programs.

Though a bit different than in the past – at one venue and on a weeknight - the tradition of a fun party will remain the same.  Join the renowned dancers of Hubbard Street for an exciting evening to honor two great friends of the company and celebrate the wonderful artistic product that has engaged over 80,000 people worldwide in the past year.

This year Hubbard Street presents its Inaugural Spotlight Awards to:
Sandra P. Guthman,
President & CEO,
Polk Bros. Foundation

These awards recognize donors who have had an ongoing and unparalleled impact on Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and the community. Northern Trust and Sandy have been two of the biggest champions of the arts and art education in our city. Their commitment to Hubbard Street has helped us evolve into one of the leading contemporary dance companies in the world.
