This fall, Houston Center for Contemporary Craft conjures up the return of one of Houston’s favorite fundraisers, Martini Madness!, with a chilling, yet enchanting WitchCraft theme.
This sophisticated evening of Halloween fun takes place under the crescent moon, where guests will enjoy artist-made glassware and decor, magical cocktails, delectable bites, a Garden of Fortunes, a Magic Mirror photo booth, and witchy vibes from celebrated Houston recording artist, DJ Sun. Guests are encouraged to participate in the party’s theme by wearing their most creative costume or headwear, from pointy hats to hoods, to win a prize in the costume contest.
As in previous years, the ticket price includes an artist-made glass for guests to select and take home, but this year’s soiree boasts an expanded selection to choose from—including glasses for whiskey and wine, and of course, martini glasses!
Founded in 2001, Houston Center for Contemporary Craft (HCCC) is one of the only organizations in the country focused on contemporary craft, offering critically lauded exhibitions, artist residencies, and an innovative slate of educational programming. Fundraisers like Martini Madness allow the Center to provide admission and a wide variety of programs free of charge to visitors throughout the year.
Note: This event is for ages 21 and up and will take place in an outdoor tent and the Center’s Craft Garden.
