Beach Ball: incognito

Posted on by jmhatre

Step up, step out and cut loose at the first annual Beach Ball!
Come “incognito” to the event of the season. Mingle with mimes. Dance with a bear. Eat, drink and be Mary… or John, or whomever you’d like. Come for the art, stay for the music, or the food, the auction or the performers… Any way you cut it, the Beach Ball has it all. Don a mask and cut a rug, Friday, October 13th only at the Beach Museum of Art.

Wanna wear a lampshade, that’s okay. There is no wrong ‘cause it’s all right. Celebrate at the Beach tonight.
