IMPORTANT PARKING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE '08!
Due to a number of other events occurring on and around the IUPUI campus simultaneously with THE ’08, access to Eskenazi Hall will be restricted depending on your time of arrival. Please see this MAP for SPECIAL DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS. It will also be necessary for every vehicle arriving that evening to have this PARKING VALIDATION. Simply print it and place it in the window of your vehicle. We look forward to having you join us for this extraordinary event!
THE EVENT
Join 350+ community friends for an evening of Art Couture--or high fashion wearable art--and an opportunity to experience Herron! Don't miss the evening's runway show spotlighting the creativity and talent of Herron students and other artists, and their artistic take on wearable art. Walk throughout Eskenazi Hall to see the art and design created here!
Herron’s largest fundraising event is a progressive culinary experience that will tour you through Eskenazi Hall starting with an exclusive VIP reception, followed by a sampling of dishes from local high-end restaurants, a wearable art runway show, an art sale and silent auction, a cash bar, with DJs A Sqaured Industries, dancing and dessert stations concluding the event.
