Artists Ball Seven

Artists Ball Seven: The New Party

Fri, Oct 3, 2008 • YBCA

Dinner 6 pm / Dance Party 9 pm

Some galas you attend because, well, you must. Others? You know it's the right thing to do. And a handful are merely de rigueur for making the scene. Then there is the Artists Ball … it felt as if we'd scaled the mountaintop and glimpsed the gala future.
—Catherine Bigelow, San Francisco Chronicle

Don’t miss YBCA’s gala fundraiser designed by Stanlee Gatti and featuring an extraordinary dinner, auction, dance party, live entertainment, libations and of course, the most amazing décor you've ever seen.
