members and friends are breaking out of the winter blues this coming
March 29th at the 20th Annual Beaux Arts Ball. Last year we celebrated
31 years of service to the community making this our 32nd year!
The Beaux Arts Ball is the Arts Council’s primary fund raising event, supporting the many programs and services we offer to our community. So don your finery and join us at the Copper Tree Restaurant at Hunter Mountain for a night of Art, Food, Fun & Dance! One of the highlights of the Ball is the presentation of the Distinguished Service Awards, underwritten by First Niagara. This year we will honor Deborah Allen, publisher, Black Dome Press. The Distinguished Service Award is presented annually for steadfast commitment and unselfish contributions to the quality of cultural life in Greene County. Congratulations to Debbie for this well deserved award. The Ball sells out rapidly, so for those of you who have not already responded, please send your reply card in immediately or call the Arts Council to confirm seating availability. The cause is exceptional so Go for Baroque and Send us your Monet! This year, all Ball attendees will be benefactors. So, become a benefactor at a level of your choosing. Help make this the most successful Beaux Arts Ball in history. Benefactor levels range from DaVinci’s Diamond Dynasty for tables of 10 at $10,000 to Cole’s Silver Society at $1750. Individual benefactor levels range from Renoir’s Regal Realm at $500 to Rousseau’s Lair at $175. The Bank of Greene County is, once again, a lead sponsor of the Ball. Their generous donation of $5,000 puts them at Picasso’s Platinum Club level. All benefactors as of mid-February are listed below. At the Ball, your evening begins at 6:30 PM with the opening of the silent auction accompanied by fabulous hors d’oeuvres and an open bar. The silent auction features original works of arts and crafts donated by our talented artists, as well as wonderful items donated by various businesses in our area. While you sip and nibble you will have time to examine the select items offered in our Auctions ~ all of them generously donated by local businesses and friends of GCCA. And as if that isn’t enough, LEX GREY’S NAUGHTY CABARET will be performing in the auction area. And what a cabaret that will be! Lex will keep you begging and bidding for more! Auctioneer Anthony Patsky will conduct the live auction and be on hand to arbitrate bids at the silent auction. He’ll keep you in a bidding war, vying for ownership! Dancing anyone? As you contemplate your bids, in the Main Ballroom New York City’s top party band NITE-TIME will be enticing you onto the dance floor with their impressive repertoire drawn from a wide variety of musical traditions and dance rhythm from 6:30PM until midnight! At 8:00PM “Dinner is Served!” The Restaurant at Hunter Mountain will be tantalizing your taste buds with a delectable haute cuisine menu. As always, The Copper Tree Chef will create a sumptuous gourmet repast, full entrée followed by an exquisite dessert. Internationally acclaimed artist, Patrick D. Milbourn will be on hand throughout the evening selling limited edition fine art giclee prints of “After the Ball”. GCCA will receive 20% of the proceeds from this year’s fine art print. In addition, the limited edition series of “Beaux Arts Ball” commemorative posters from 1997 through 2007 will be available for purchase and personalization. The availability for each year’s poster varies so if you have yet to purchase a poster, now’s the time to do it. And if that isn’t enough, The Kaatskill Mountain Club at Hunter Mountain Resort is inviting all Arts Ball guests to experience one of Greene County’s finest resorts firsthand. Special rates, starting at $130, are being offered to anyone attending the Arts Ball on March 29th.
