You've stocked your closet with festive-wear and are waiting for the party invitations to start pouring in? Well, here's the first of the season. Join Herb and Felicia Gray for their annual Holiday Party hosted to support the Harvey B. Gantt Center.

Your $50 ticket includes admission, delectable sweet and savory treats, complimentary wine and specialty drinks, live music, dancing and even one pass to view the award-winning exhibit, America I AM: The African American Imprint during the evening. Best of all, a portion of your ticket is tax-deductible. A $100 ticket increases your tax-deductible contribution and also entitles you to two passes to see the exhibit.

With a host of local sponsors from Charlotte City Council members to Snyder’s-Lance, your presence helps to ensure that the Gantt Center can continue to present, preserve and celebrate the best of African-American art, culture and history. Now that's a party with a purpose.

Purchase tickets online below or at the Gantt Center Guest Services Desk.
