A Benefit for the CAC Saluting the SweetArts 2008 Honorees
Saturday, March 8
Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans

Honorary Chairs: Alexa Georges & Bennett Davis

The Contemporary Arts Center and Regions Bank present SweetArts 2008 - "Paper Scissors RockStar - An Arts & Sass Playground," and are proud to welcome the annual benefit party back home to the CAC in New Orleans, after 2 post-Katrina years in New York. The event takes place on Saturday, March 8, with party admission, honorees' reception & Backstage VIP levels ranging from $100-$500. (See below.)

Admission to the event includes complimentary cocktails and cuisine by 7 on Fulton, 360 Vodka, Bonterra Vineyards, Coolbrew Coffee, Cochon, Food Art, Herbsaint, K-Paul's, New Orleans Ice Cream Co., Republic Beverage, and Palate.

Partygoers will enjoy the ultimate "arts & sass playground" of interactive fun, including performing in front of cameras with your own rock band, drinking chilled cocktails served from a massive ice luge, creating your own artworks and dancing to the sounds of sultry cabaret siren Anais St. John (Honorees' Reception 7:30-9) and jazz trombone virtuoso Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews with his band Orleans Avenue, who will perform their energetic mix of funk, rock and hip hop (Party 9pm-midnight).

In addition to "rock star fabulous" fun, the purpose behind the party is to celebrate and recognize this year's SweetArts Honorees, six foundations whose unprecedented funding initiatives in response to Hurricane Katrina have helped the CAC and so many other Gulf Coast institutions to recover. They are the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc.; the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation; the Getty Foundation; the Joan Mitchell Foundation; the Lord and Taylor/2007 SweetArts Katrina Fund; and the Louisiana Cultural Economy Foundation.

Don't Miss the Return of SweetArts to New Orleans. Reserve your tickets today.
