American College of Building Arts Announce The 2013 Red Party Theme
CHARLESTON, SC (May 8, 2013) – The American Building of College Arts officially announces the 2013 theme of their highly anticipated annual fundraiser, The Red Party. On Friday, October 25, Charleston-based interior designer, Cortney Bishop, will transform the American College of Building Arts (ACBA) main campus, The Old City Jail, into all the grandeur and excess of Jay Gatsby’s “little” mansion parties. Drawing inspiration from The Roaring 1920s, Bishop will use overflowing champagne, sexy energetic jazz, party-goers dressed in their best ‘20s outfits, and more to set the stage for the celebration of artisans who come to ACBA from across the country to receive their quality liberal arts education while they learn traditional building skills. During the coming months leading up to the Gatsby Red Party, ACBA will be hosting pop-up events throughout Charleston and on their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ SupportACBA. Tickets are $70 for general admission and $150 for VIP, and will go on sale Fall 2013 at www.showclix.com/event/TheFifthAnnualRedParty
