Presented by Friends of Clay Center
January 30, 2016
A mystical wonderland of deliciously intriguing temptations awaits you at this year’s Carnaval. Lean into the whimsically wicked journey... Fantasy or fright? Tangible or abstract? Modern or classic? You decide.
Carnaval 2016: Pick Your Poison
Carnaval’s guest list includes West Virginia’s best and brightest business leaders, young professionals and creative movers and shakers who know that a strong art and science education promotes the skills children need to succeed. Expect to engage with art lovers, dance fans, champions of education — and those who just love a great party. Sponsoring Carnaval gets you the hottest tickets in town, but most importantly, you provide critical support for the Clay Center and The Charleston Ballet’s educational programs.
