Fall Ball 2017: Under the Big Top
The Young Affiliates of the Mint (the “YAMs”) are proud to present the Fifth Annual Fall Ball : “Under the Big Top.” The event will take place on Friday, November 10th from 8 p.m. to midnight on the lawn of Mint Museum Randolph under a giant tent and will feature entertainment from Charlotte-area performing artists. This year’s Fall Ball will serve as a fundraiser in support of the YAMs’ contribution to the Mint’s Annual Fund to provide museum tours for Charlotte-Mecklenburg School Students.
In support of the YAMs’ mission of promoting and celebrating the arts, the charitable event will feature aerial artists, fire dancers, and other visual performances. Live music will be provided by Hot Sauce Party Band, a five-piece band who has played with accomplished musicians from nearly every decade including James Taylor and The Moody Blues.
“This year, for the first time ever, we’re excited to host Fall Ball at Mint Museum Randolph,” said Satie Munn, chair of the annual event. “It’s a beautiful location and will allow us to highlight our talented performative and visual artist community here in Charlotte.”
Tickets start at $100 and include heavy hors d’oeuvres and complimentary beer and wine; liquor is also available for purchase. To learn more and to purchase tickets, visit mintmuseum.org/happenings/1528/fall-ball-2017-under-the-big-top/.
