STOLEN: An Art Auction Masquerade
Your secrets are safe with us.
"Would you offer us a secret?"
A group of socialites. Some friends, others, strangers. Six exhibits, each a commentary on masking through the narrative of one specific odyssey. Why is that word bolded? You think that must be a clue. Or maybe something else entirely is going on. And what a strange question the host asked you upon entry. You're sure it's all connected somehow...
...when a sound chimes drawing your attention. Turning to look for the source, you see your hosts standing on a small stage.
"Welcome. The bidding will begin in a moment, but first, we would like to remind everyone that anonymity is key throughout the evening and that your masks must be kept on for the entire event. Just remember, that while this masquerade may hide faces, intentions are not so easily veiled. Let's begin."
Bid, mingle, and uncover secrets in a vibrant game of social mixology.
A Curated Situation and Setjed Syndicate present STOLEN, an event where guests play with or against each other in a game of connection and deduction. Each guest begins by putting a delicious and anonymous piece of their past up for auction. But no bidding on yourselves!
Guests who interact earnestly will learn the most, but even those who prefer a more reserved approach won't be at a disadvantage—if they play their cards right. The key: forming connections and using your influence to convince others that you are worth betting on. By the end of the evening, you might find yourself hoping the winning bid goes to a stranger you've just met.
"Going once..."
Important details for those joining us...
Masks are required: This is a masquerade costume event—masks are required and formal wear (or relevant thematic costuming) is highly encouraged. Masks must be kept on while inside the venue. If you need to remove your mask, we kindly ask that you do so outdoors.
Prepare a secret: You'll be asked to reveal something about yourself upon entry—something juicy, perhaps? The more interesting, the better, as these details will be put up for auction and are a key element to the evening's intrigue.
Refreshments: Drinks and light snacks are available throughout the night. Please note that no dinner will be served. Guests who purchased an open bar ticket will receive a wristband upon entry that allows access to alcoholic drinks. If you did not purchase an open bar ticket, wristbands can be purchased at the door for $15.
Parking and Transportation: Street parking is available, but if you plan on drinking, we strongly encourage using a ride-share service.
This is a Curated Situation: Each person on the guest list was specifically chosen because we're confident they will mix well as a whole. No one is attending who doesn't personally know one of our two hosts, so rest assured it's going to be an incredible time.
We look forward to an evening of intrigue, connection, and unforgettable details. See you there!
