Asheville Area Arts Council announces Color Ball date, location and theme
In 1895, George Vanderbilt opened his Biltmore Estate. This year marked the crowning moment of years of construction. The Estate fostered a community adorned with lovers of art, beauty, and culture. The 2014 Color Ball is dedicated to the same elegance and energy of this Golden Age. The Asheville Area Arts Council is delighted to present: The Gilded Ball.
Gild (verb) \ˈgild\ : to overlay with or as if with a thin covering of gold
