Artists bring energy, vibrancy, and color to our lives everyday. Whether we see their artwork in galleries, on the street, or in our homes, their talents inspire joy, reflection, and a sense of wonder.

At the Black & White Party, experience a unique evening where the decor, artwork for sale, and food (to the extent possible) will all be black and white. This void of color serves to remind us all of how important artists are in bringing color to our lives. Two DJs and a mixologist will delight the senses throughout the evening.

Now in its third year, the party attracts artists, art lovers, emerging fashion designers, and social leaders. Bring your business cards and creative energy for a night of mixing and mingling with a diverse crowd where art, dance, and community collide. New this year is a best-dressed contest for the best-dressed man and best-dressed woman. ArtsEmerson is generously providing tickets to two shows, Emergency and Tappin' Thru Life, as prizes for the winners.

At the conclusion of the Black & White Party, all are welcome to continue the fun at Pico Picante at the Good Life Bar.
