​An Evening of Glamorous Graffiti, Nassau County Museum of Art’s 2016 Ball, will be held on Saturday, June 11 at 7 p.m. Inspired by the two current exhibitions at the Museum, An Evening of Glamorous Graffiti thematically evokes the work of Kenny Scharf and other late-1970’s and early-1980’s artists whose vibrant, edgy urban street art transformed contemporary art. Kenny Scharf will be a special guest at the Ball. New for the 2016 Ball is Late Cosmic Party, a party just for young trendsetters 21-40. The Ball, one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the Long Island social season, is the Museum’s major annual fundraiser, providing an important component of the Museum’s operating budget, offering support for an ambitious schedule of exhibitions and stimulating educational programs for adults, students, families, special-needs individuals and school groups. An Evening of Glamorous Graffiti will be held at Museum’s historic Gold Coast mansion, which along with extensive gardens and grounds constitutes the former Frick Estate.
 
Guests will dance to the music of the Alex Donner Orchestra, and will bid for exciting auction prizes including artwork, jewelry, fine dining and unique event experiences. The Ball also features a raffle for a beautiful necklace and earrings of baroque pearls and Swarovski crystals by Ambalu Jewelers. The media partner for An Evening of Glamorous Graffiti is the prestigious magazine, New York Cottages and Gardens. The Ball invitation is sponsored by Healthplex: Dr. & Mrs. Stephen J. Cuchel, Dr. & Mrs. Martin Kane, and Dr. & Mrs. George Kane.
