The Emerald Ball will be held at Pink Dog Creative,
in the heart of the River Arts District, spreading the evening’s events
between businesses decked out in scenes from The Wonderful Wizard of
Oz. Entertainment includes a fashion installation of
human statues featuring local designers, performance from Dr. Sketchy’s, fire
dancing by Found World Bellydance, dance performance with Terpsicorps Theatre
of Dance, and you can even get your tarot card readings by special guest
Professora Marvel. Other festivities include a silent auction, a live art auction, an
interactive art project, and of course dancing! Guests will not want to miss
out on opportunities to bid for getaways to Kiawah Island Resort, Wild Dunes Resort,
and a week’s vacation in Mexico.
Additional items for auction will be fantastic artwork made and donated by
local artists and two VIP tickets to Art Basel, the
international arts festival held in Miami this December.
General admission tickets are $50, and VIP tickets are $100. VIP
guests will arrive early for the exclusive pre-party, 6-7pm, with an
artist meet-and-greet, and a head start on auction bidding, open bar and
heavy hors d’oeuvres from Limones, and a special performance by Cripps Puppets. All
proceeds benefit the Asheville Area Arts Council’s programs and mission to
strengthen the vitality and visibility of the creative community, and grow
Buncombe County’s arts, culture, and entertainment. Some benefiting AAAC
programs include the Regional Artist Project Grant,
Asheville Art in the Park Art and
Community Grant, Kids Tixx, providing
tickets to one child and one adult to attend various arts events in the
Asheville area, and the AAAC’s Artist’s Curriculum,
providing area artists with resources and opportunities to build upon their
business skills.
