ARTafterDARK > Starlight Ball
Starlight Ball
WHEN: May 8, 2010 7 - 11 PM
WHERE: Honolulu Academy of Arts
To avoid adding to the post-holiday fatigue many people feel at the start of the year, the Academy has moved the Starlight Ball from January to May. The event—ARTafterDARK’s annual gala benefit for the Academy—returns sleek and pared down with the theme Black and White. Sponsored by Prada, the evening will feature a projection of the label’s new film noir short that was shot in the streets of Shanghai—in black and white of course.
Tickets:
Individual: $85
Premium Table for 4: $500
VIP Benefactor Table for 10: $2,500
Food:
Some of Honolulu's top restaurants purveyors, including our own Pavilion Cafe, Nobu Waikiki,Town, La Gelateria and Whole Foods Market, will have stations for gourmet grazing for holders of individual and premium table tickets.
The VIP Benefactor Experience:
VIPs arrive through a private entrance to a pre-party from 5:30 to 7pm. You'll be served a three-course dinner by Azure—chef Jon Matsubara himself will be on hand. Special entertainment and a live auction round out the evening.
The Art Experience:
This year, the Starlight Ball will debut ARTBAR—a showcase of art (in black and white of course) by local artists for sale. Featured artists so far: Gaye Chan, Charles Cohan, Vince Hazen, Hyeyoung Kim, Deb Nehmad, Naomi Olson, Koi Ozu, Aaron Padilla, Arlo Valera, Maile Yawata.
