Step into the world of art and fashion at the Art and Fashion Affair, a Met Gala-inspired evening presented by the Festival of Arts and Pageant of the Masters. On Saturday, Aug. 24, 2024, experience an event like no other — blending fine art, live entertainment, and a touch of Hollywood glamor. Order tickets at PageantTickets.com or call 1-800-487-3378.
Headlining the evening, Matt Mauser and his Big Band will bring the magic of Frank Sinatra to life with a captivating tribute performance. With his modern twist on Sinatra’s classics, Matt Mauser will have patrons swinging and swaying all night long. Early arrival is encouraged, as seating is first-come, first-served.
Adding to the evening, actress Kirsten Vangsness — beloved for her role as Penelope Garcia on the long-running CBS series Criminal Minds — will introduce a special performance of the Pageant of the Masters and draw the winning ticket for a brand-new 2025 Volvo XC60 PHEV Black Edition, or $20,000 in cash. This thrilling raffle has been the talk of the summer, and the drawing will take place right before the Pageant begins.
“The Art & Fashion Affair is more than just a glamorous evening; it’s a celebration of our community,” said Sharbie Higuchi, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for the Festival of Arts. “By joining us, you’ll experience a night of style and entertainment while supporting the vital work of the Festival of Arts, a non-profit dedicated to the arts and art education.”
The night kicks off with a red carpet entrance at 5:30 p.m., where guests are encouraged to dress to impress. Capture the moment at one of the photo booths and take home a stylish souvenir print of the photo, and explore the Festival of Arts Fine Art Show, showcasing the incredible work of over 100 local artists. For those with Loge Center Pageant tickets, the evening starts even earlier, with exclusive access to the gala at 4:30 p.m., complete with a complimentary glass of champagne.
Following the concert, audiences will enjoy the 2024 Pageant of the Masters production “Á La Mode: The Art of Fashion,” where art meets couture in a breathtaking live performance. Kirsten Vangsness will set the stage for this spectacular event, making the night even more memorable.
