The Future is Awaiting at The Infinity Ball!
This year’s highly anticipated 20th Anniversary celebration at the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands (NGCI) sets out to commemorate the institution’s past while embracing the future. The event takes place Friday, 1 December 2017 from 6:30 PM until the early hours. The NGCI Sculpture Gardens and Lower Exhibition Hall will be transformed into a futuristic backdrop, where guests will be invited to engage with the theme and décor by wearing “futuristic inspired” black tie to the event. The evening will include special presentations, live performances, futuristic cocktails, and dancing under the stars until the early hours.
“Prepare to be enthralled by the sights, sounds and sensations of a fashion forward event that brings people together and celebrates creativity,” explains NGCI Events Coordinator Alyssa Manderson. “We’re excited to share the Gallery’s successes and celebrate the museum’s future within our community.” Tickets include a reception with a specialty welcome cocktail and canapés, a three-course fine dining experience with a vegetarian option, complimentary red and white wine throughout dinner, live music and entertainment, bottle service upon request, a champion bartender creating futuristic cocktails throughout the evening, a lively after-party and a few surprises!
For attire inspiration, National Gallery staff and volunteers have collaborated to create a mood board of futuristic runway-ready looks for everyone. Click here to view.
