Approach

This year, the Afterparty will explore the themes of Plato’s cave further by leading the guests from dark to light. The entrance will be more intimate, decorated by meticulously designed rocky set pieces. As participants continue, the room opens up and the colors get warmer. Themed refreshments and hor d'oeuvres, such as sugar glass, put the guests at ease as they escape the cave, metaphorically.

While all of this is true, the main point of an afterparty is to connect. The atmosphere curated will provide a unique backdrop to meet your next favourite artist.
