You are invited to experience an unforgettable evening of food, fashion, and fantasy at SMOC’s grand Bal Masqué Gala Fundraiser on October 24, 2013.

This is your chance to don your favourite faux persona!

Bal Masqué masquerade balls were a feature of the Carnival season in 15th century Europe, which grew into costumed public festivities in Italy during the 16th century Renaissance. Elaborate dances held for members of the upper classes, particularly popular in Venice, allowed costumed participants to engage in shenanigans while their true identities were masked. Today, Bal Masqué is a party or feast where guests attend in costume, wearing a mask.

At SMOC’s Bal Masqué, you will experience an atmospheric pre-show string quartet, professional photo-ops with fabulously adorned partiers, sumptuous food, silent auction, and (of course) a stunning live fashion show hosted by our Honorary Curator, Ivan Sayers.

Costumes and masks optional but encouraged.

As a special preview for members only, we invite you to purchase your tickets before March 1, 2013 for your chance to reserve the best seats in the house – seats at the tables flanking the runway.
