WHAT: Martini Madness, the popular cocktail fundraiser benefitting Houston Center for Contemporary Craft (HCCC), blasts off this fall with a space-age modern theme that looks to the future as it celebrates the past!
The ticket price includes an artisan-made martini glass for each guest to select and take home, as well as a stellar evening of signature martinis, delectable appetizers, a cosmic lounge, and much more. Guests are encouraged to participate in the party’s out-of-this-world theme by donning their chicest space-race attire (think ‘60s mod fashions, NASA, and all things outer space) to win a prize in the costume contest.
A modestly priced, late-night ticket allows guests to enjoy the party from 9:00 – 11:00 PM. While this ticket does not include an artisan martini glass, an incredible selection of glasses will be available for purchase at the event.
Founded in 2001, HCCC is a visual arts center featuring a nationally regarded artist residency program, original exhibitions of contemporary craft, and engaging educational programming for all ages. Annual fundraisers like Martini Madness allow the Center to offer admission and a variety of programs free to the public.
