Masters of Venice: A Masked Ball

Description

Masters of Venice: A Masked Ball

ArtPoint invites you to take part in what will undoubtedly become one of the most talked about events of the year. In celebration of the closing days of Masters of Venice: Paintings of Passion and Power now on view at the de Young, ArtPoint is throwing a spectacular masquerade. Revel in the anonymity afforded by your finest Venetian mask and black tie attire; transport yourself to 15th century Venice where the use of the mask became the perfect accessory to the love of transgression. Just what may happen is up to you.

Experience firsthand the mystery that for centuries has surrounded the Masquerade Ball. Revelers can expect exquisite works of art, spirited dancing, exotic cocktails provided by Solerno Blood Orange, and a few surprises. Dynamic performers and the musical stylings of San Francisco favorite DJ Solomon will set the stage for an utterly unforgettable night. Who will you be?

VIP guests will enjoy priority entry an hour before the main event, tours of the stunning exhibition, and access to a private VIP lounge all evening serving Stags’ Leap Winery Petit Sirah and Viogner, along with Greg Norman Sparkling Wine and heavy appetizers provided by Union Street Catering.

After indulging in these worldly delights, we beckon you to descend into the Museum’s lower lever to view Masters of Venice: Paintings of Passion and Power from the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.
