You're Invited: The FIGMENT Masquerade Ball

We are excited to invite you to Mirror/Mirror, our third annual FIGMENT Project Global Fundraiser and Masquerade Ball on 11/11. Celebrate FIGMENT and raise funds for our 2020 season.

11/11 for 2020. Coincidence? We think not. Our theme this year is SYNCHRONICITY: that thing we humans do when we find meaning and causality in unrelated events.

When we create art, we create meaning from circumstance. We carve out causality from randomness. We make things matter.

Join us and celebrate that meaningful coincidence; embrace that wink and nod from the universe; and clap your butterfly wings at our 2019 MIRROR / MIRROR FIGMENT Fundraiser & Masquerade Ball.

Visit her current installation, The Privilege of Escape, at Creative Time until 9/30.
