THE PAPER BALL - CIRQUE DU PAPIER
The Paper Ball “Cirque du Papier” theme captures the wild, vibrant world of bohemian carnival spirit with the third annual benefit for The Waldorf School of Santa Barbara at the Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum (CAF) on Saturday, May, 12, 2012.
Through ingenious use of simple paper, the décor will create an opulent bedazzlement of exotic cultures colliding with the lively back lot of a traveling circus. Spectacular performances will erupt throughout the evening as spontaneous interludes of dramatic delight! Dance, nibble and toast dazzling delectables. VIP champagne preview will wet your whistle for outbidding yourself in the live and silent auction. The ringmaster awaits!
Each year, The Paper Ball invites a local Santa Barbara artist to serve as guest visionary. This year, the magnificently talented masterminds behind 805 Ink, J.J. Ortiz, Ken Knox, Chad Westmoreland, Nate Hudak, Chris Cruz and Jake Vantiger, will create custom artwork for “Cirque du Papier,” drawing references from a multitude of themes and offering up images distinct to the artist collective and their fascination with the physical phenomena.
The Paper Ball pays homage to a grand ball of 1936 held at the Wadsworth Athenaeum Museum in Connecticut designed by surrealist artists, Charles Henri Ford and Russian painter Pavel Tchelitchew. In celebration of The Paper Ball founders, this year’s suggested attire will be "Surrealism in Paper, Top Hats and Extravagance!" Prizes will be awarded for Best in Paper, Paper Queen, Paper King and Best Paper Accessory by a panel of guest judges!
