Diamonds & Denim

"Goodness, what beautiful diamonds!" "Goodness had nothing to do with it.  Dearie."

                 -Mae West

                             Night After Night

Just like many of Mae West’s famous quotes, this year’s Diamonds & Denim Arts Ball promises to be an evening full of double entendres as guests are encouraged to accessorize their black tie, evening gowns and finest jewels with a dash of denim for an evening that says one thing and means another: casually formal or is it formally casual?! 

If our double entendres dress code is not enticing enough, try it aboard the Natuzzi Americas showroom, located at 130 W. Commerce Street in High Point on February 23rd. A party on the decks of “the ship,” that has made downtown High Point its port of call, brings its own fresh, new spin to High Point ’s long-established black-tie event. And, you can go ahead and admit it, you’ve been looking for permission to come aboard and check out the interior of this architectural diamond of a building! Now’s your chance and what better way to do it than by supporting the arts.

Natuzzi Americas and the Arts Council are excited to partner together to bring the annual Arts Ball downtown for a brilliant evening that will shimmer for those with a zest for the fun, the glitzy and the unique. Dining, dancing and listening to the sounds of not one but two bands plus other interactive entertainment will appeal to all merry makers whether your style is dress it up with diamonds or dress it down with denim. The King and Queen of the Arts Ball will be chosen this year based on the most creative mix of formal attire, denim accessories and sparkly bling bling so be sure to put together an ensemble that will outshine your fellow party goers.

For $150 per couple or $75 per person you can come join in the formally causal/casually formal festivities. You will enjoy dinner, dancing, interactive events, complimentary beer and wine and a cash bar while wearing “Tux on top, jeans below, evening gown with denim stole. Mix it up and wear your bling, diamonds and denim, it’s a creative thing!”
