OCEAN CITY — Tickets are now on sale for Cirque des Artes, the Black and Gold Cocktail Party, which will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 6:30 p.m. at the Gateway Grand residences in Ocean City.
The party kicks off the Art League of Ocean City’s annual Sandcastle Home Tour, which will take place Sept. 24-25. Yumi Hogan, First Lady of Maryland, is the honorary chairperson for this year’s event.
“Truly, art has a way of bringing people of all areas together under one roof,” Hogan said. “In this case, the many roofs of those who kindly volunteered to open their homes for a great cause.”
The Cirque des Artes party honors the tour’s homeowners and raises funds for the Art League. A limited number of tickets are available at $95 per person. RSVP is requested by Sept. 3.
Co-chairperson Jamie Albright of the Art League said the home tour party is, “kicking it up a notch this year with a very special event that has never been done in Ocean City. This definitely will be the event of the season. We have plenty of surprises planned for the evening, so this is a party you won’t want to miss.”
Albright added, “The beautiful lounge and terrace at the Gateway Grand will provide the most gorgeous and unique backdrop for an evening of entertainment, fun and dining.”
Guests will be entertained with special performances by AirPlay Entertainment of Philadelphia and jazz from the Brian Perez Jazz Quartet. Heavy hors d’oeuvres, sushi and sweet confections will be served, along with wine, craft beer and champagne.
