You are invited to a
Mad Hatter Tea & Cocktail Party!

(An Arts Fundraiser hosted by IvyHour and CHCDC
- a 501(c)3 Nonprofit Arts Organization.)

Enjoy cocktail concoctions that insist that you “Drink Me”,
hors d'oeuvres that beg for your personal investigation, and sweets that demand you to “Eat Me”. A Silent Auction will offer you pleasantries to attempt to take home with you, if you should choose to participate. And, of course, a dance party towards the end of the evening is a must, or else it may be “Off with your Head!”

Evening events include:
Wine Tastings by PRP Wine International.
Signature Cocktails
Artwork displays by Visual Artist Sharon Lacy-Huff, & CHCDC
Silent Auction with offerings by PRP Wine Int., White Light Studio, Halcyon Tea, Joe Decker Fitness, & more!
And time to dance the night away!

Come and enjoy a wonderland of fun!

Ticket Donations will benefit the Colette Harding Contemporary Dance Company-CHCDC, & Art of ´Elan. Donations will be used for the Spring 2010 production of “Alice”, a production based on Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland”, and organization Outreach Programs. This production is a collaboration with the Colette Harding Contemporary Dance Company, Art of ´Elan chamber music organization, and composer Joseph Hallman.

Lead by Artistic Director Colette Harding, the mission of CHCDC is to build community, unite the arts, and introduce new audiences to Modern Dance and other Contemporary Art forms through collaborations, performances, and education. Productions and classes should enrich, educate and cultivate the arts in our growing population.

Chamber music organization, Art of Élan, is pioneering unique events and bringing back the excitement of classical music. Led by musicians Kate Hatmaker (violinist with the San Diego Symphony) and Demarre McGill (principal flute of the San Diego Symphony), Art of Élan is breaking down the barriers that surround classical music through its innovative programming. Art of Élan hopes to engage and energize audiences in new ways.
