The Peck School welcomes you to two special annual
events at Kenilworth Square East, our newly-renovated creative research
space: the 31st Annual Grand Viennese Ball and the second annual
Passport to the Arts. Whether you come at 5:30 pm for an evening
of fine dining
and
dancing
at the Ball, or drop in later
for dessert and the building-wide performances and exhibitions
that make up the informal Passport to the Arts, you’ll spend
a grand evening with students, faculty, alumni and friends of the
Peck
School on
March 8.
GRAND VIENNESE BALL

Chairpersons
March 8, 2008
5:30 pm - midnight
The 31st Annual Grand Viennese Ball is your passport
to the arts: an opportunity to celebrate with the students, faculty,
alumni
and friends of the Peck School. Join us for an evening of dining,
dancing
and performance at Kenilworth Square East. All proceeds support
student scholarships.
You will begin the evening with cocktails and music
in the Inova/Kenilworth gallery space, and you will be able to wander
next door to browse the silent auction. Dinner and dancing will
take place on a transformed second floor where
you will enjoy uninterrupted dancing to live music for the entire
evening. And, by celebrating the 31st anniversary of the Ball in
our new space, we can simultaneously showcase the talents of our
students in the many studios and project spaces that fill the upper
floors. Just grab your passport and take off for a tour
of the building as you enjoy performances by our dance, music and
theatre students, and screenings and installations by our film and
visual art students.
