debut • A2SF’s Annual Fundraiser

Friday, May 15, 2026 • 7-9:30pm • HOMES Campus (112 Jackson Plaza, Ann Arbor)

Experience debut. Become a Champion.

Join us for the return of debut, A2SF’s annual fundraiser—an evening like no other. Live music, intimate artistic encounters, artisanal drinks, and creative hors d’oeuvres delight as nearly a dozen artists assemble to launch A2SF’s 43rd season.

This year, you’re invited to step forward as a Champion. By purchasing a Champion ticket for $200, you make a bold investment in the future of our work, providing critical financial support that goes beyond attendance and directly sustains the artists, programs, and creative risk-taking that define A2SF. Champion tickets include the same immersive experience as general admission, with the added impact of deeper philanthropic support. Standard tickets are available for $125 and include two beverages and hors d’oeuvres. 18+ event. A portion of each ticket is tax-deductible: $75 for Standard and $150 for Champion.

The arts connect, inspire, and build community. Your generosity at debut helps A2SF meet this moment, strengthen our foundation today, and ensure future generations continue to experience, engage with, and be transformed by the arts.
