The Art of Ballet
Columbia Classical Ballet proudly announces its fourth annual black-tie gala -The Art of Ballet Gala. Grab your flapper dress, tuxedo, and top hat for a night of Gatsby-style glamour at Columbia’s own 701 Whaley. This unique event will be held on Friday, February 10, 2023.
With elegance and panache, Columbia Classical’s Great Gatsby Gala features a special donor cocktail hour, dinner, live auction, and speed painting by artist Jared Emerson as he creates, before your eyes, a one-of-a-kind work of art. And, for the highlight of the evening, a special performance by CCB and the opportunity to dance the night away with the company’s amazing dancers.
The Art of Ballet Gala invites all ages to this special event. Tickets will be available for guests over twenty-one years of age. For guests under twenty-one, there will be a reduced ticket price. Undoubtedly, this will be an evening to remember and share with new and old friends.
