Fundraising Gala 2023

The Alliance Francaise de Seattle is delighted to return to its in-person traditional fundraising gala for the first time in four years!

This year we celebrate the 140^th anniversary of the global network of Alliances Françaises, founded by 19^th century visionary artists and scientists, among which the legendary French writer Jules Verne, father of the Victorian-era steampunk movement.

Jules Verne’s most famous titles of the series Voyages Extraordinaires will inspire the key moments of our glittering soirée, from the silent to the live auctions, table décor, guests' attire, and fun accessories.

Join us for our upcoming Gala at the iconic Rainier Club in the heart of downtown Seattle, on Saturday, October 14^th, 2023, and get ready to be transported to a world of adventure, innovation, and Victorian marvels!
