Glamour Ball: Screening & Fundraiser
July 15, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Join BEING Studio for a night of films, fame and disability arts!
BEING Studio invites you to wear your most glamorous getup and attend the premiere of films directed by BEING artists. Watch 6 new short films made by Jessie Huggett, Jake Riseborough, Ada Chan and a documentary made by Matthew Delaney, followed by a Q + A with the artists and producers. This event is a fundraiser for BEING, so there will also be a silent auction, door prize, and a VIP red carpet experience!
Glamour is more than glitter. It’s about beauty, recognition, excitement and power.
