Who knew, that power plant turned art gallery is also the venue for, as the National Post calls it, "the most-talked-about arts fundraising bash on the Toronto calendar."
The Post picks it up:
...the Power Ball is locked in a party-throwing competition with other organizations around town. The Art Gallery of Ontario, the Royal Ontario Museum and the Ontario Science Centre have all been stepping up their game in the contest to hold the flashiest philanthropic shindig in town for under $200 a ticket. (And the AGO tried out the sleaze aesthetic at its 2008 Massive Party.)Maybe you'll want to crash that party, hey why not enjoy our neighbourhood's big arts bash.
For Power Ball 11, we're turning it up a notch - all the way to eleven (‘This is Spinal Tap' mockumentary fans insert laugh here). In every area, we're getting one louder: over the top, extreme, unexpected, excessive, energetic, unruly. It’s a hellraiser. It’s a barnburner. It’s one louder.
- Snip -
Proving that a good bash is not necessarily tied to glam & flash, we will feature 4 open bars of unique thematic design, a pig roast on our lake-side ‘compound’ patio, fancy and not so fancy fare (including amazing food from Bymark Caters, featuring celebrity chef Mark McEwan), amazing music, a huge dance floor with changing video projections, smashed cars with cult movies like Mad Max and Solaris projected through headlights, ‘audio rock sculpture’, and much more. What more could there be you ask? How about an indoor forest, a bizarre video outhouse (you'll have to see for yourself), a drive-in movie theatre, a Conceptual art soft-porn peep-show, scantily clad roller derby girl rumbles, and a winnebago that has been aptly described as a "man cave on wheels". Add this up and do you know what you've got? Power Ball 11: It's One Louder - a party atmosphere that should not be missed, will never be forgotten, and is the power house of all party fundraisers. Be there and get one louder!
Tickets cost $160 for non-members and $150 for members (of the Power Plant)
