The Montclair Art Museum Centennial Ball - Celebrating Art through the Decades

Montclair Art Museum will be blowing out one
hundred candles on Saturday, April 26, 2014, with a Centennial Ball.  Guests are invited to partake in the fun by
dressing from their favorite decade for a chic soirée to celebrate art and
fashion through the century.  Cocktails
will be held in Leir Hall at 6:30pm inside the Museum followed by dinner in the
Grand Tent at 8:00pm on the front lawn.



An
evening led by Centennial Celebration Co-Chairs Lisa Amato and Lyn Reiter and Dinner
Co-Chairs Elaine Pantages Conti and Gretchen Prater will celebrate MAM’s past presidents and
founders William T. Evans and Florence Rand Lang as well as leaders who have
helped transform the museum galleries through the decades.  A silent and live auction will also be held in
celebration of art and the future it holds at the museum with luxury gifts from
H. Stern, Marchesa and many more.   Tickets to the Centennial Ball start at $500
per person and can be purchased at www.montclairartmuseum.org.





In a nod to the next generation, twenty-something
Co-Chairs Jennifer Conti and Cleo Davis-Urman created an “afterparty” portion
to the night to attract a younger group of supporters as an extension of the
grand gala.  Led by their passion for the
arts, fashion and growing up in Montclair, “Fashionably
Late,
A Party for The Young and Young at Heart” was born.

“Not your grandmother’s gala is our mantra for the
after party,” says Conti alongside Co-Chair Davis-Urman, “It’s a night to get
dressed up and dance the night away.”





“We’re hosting a party you won’t want to miss,”
adds Cleo Davis-Urman.

The hipster haunt will include lounge style
seating, music by New York City Celebrity DJ, Gabriel Levy, and bites of
comfort food delicacies from NYC eatery The Melt Shop as well as street car
eats from Applegate Farms.   City
dwellers can attend “Fashionably Late” by boarding one of the private coach
buses bound for Montclair on the night of the event.  





“Fashionably Late” will kick off on the same
evening as the Centennial Ball on Saturday, April 26, 2014 at 9:30pm and go
until 1:00am in Leir Hall at the Montclair Art Museum.   Tickets for the Fashionably Late Dance Party
are included with your Centennial Ball purchase or can be purchased separately
for $75 per person online at http://www.montclairartmuseum.org/.
